"The Apotheosis of the Spanish Monarchy" is a preparatory sketch for a ceiling painting by the illustrious Italian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770). This work was conceived during Tiepolo's time in Spain, where he was commissioned by King Charles III to decorate the Royal Palace of Madrid. The sketch represents a glorification of the Spanish monarchy, a common theme in the art and propaganda of the era, intended to exalt the ruling dynasty's power and divine right to govern.

Tiepolo, renowned for his mastery in creating grandiose and luminous frescoes, employed his signature style of dynamic composition and vibrant color palette in this sketch. The artwork is characterized by its dramatic use of perspective and the incorporation of classical and allegorical figures, which was typical of the Baroque movement that influenced much of Tiepolo's work. The figures are often depicted in a theatrical arrangement, interacting with one another in a celestial setting that suggests the heavenly endorsement of the monarch's rule.

The sketch serves as a testament to Tiepolo's skill in planning large-scale ceiling paintings, a genre in which he excelled and for which he was highly sought after across the courts of Europe. While the final painting would have been executed on a much grander scale, the sketch provides valuable insight into the artist's creative process, from composition to the distribution of light and color.

"The Apotheosis of the Spanish Monarchy" remains an important piece within Tiepolo's oeuvre, encapsulating the grandeur and political context of 18th-century European court art. It is also significant as a historical document, reflecting the cultural and political aspirations of the Spanish monarchy during a period of extensive patronage of the arts. The sketch is preserved and studied by art historians for its artistic merit and as a representation of the cultural exchange between Italy and Spain during the height of the Baroque period.
