"Making Theriac Venetian" is an 18th-century watercolor painting by Dutch artist Jan van Grevenbroeck (1731–1807), who is known for his detailed illustrations of costumes and historical scenes. The artwork depicts the process of making theriac, a complex herbal remedy that was once believed to be a cure-all and was particularly popular in Venice, where it was rigorously controlled by the state.

The painting serves as a visual document of the intricate and ceremonial production of theriac, which involved a mixture of numerous ingredients, including opium and viper flesh. The process was an event that attracted public attention and was conducted by the Confraternity of Saint Roch in Venice. The artwork captures the various stages of preparation, from the initial mixing of ingredients to the final sale of the product.

Van Grevenbroeck's attention to detail not only provides insight into the pharmaceutical practices of the time but also reflects the social and cultural significance of theriac in Venetian society. His work is an important historical record of medical history and the intersection of art, science, and commerce during the Enlightenment period.

"Making Theriac Venetian" is held in high regard for its historical value and the artist's skill in portraying the complexities of a bygone medical tradition. It is a testament to the rich tradition of artisanal craftsmanship and the Venetian Republic's role in the regulation and commercialization of medicine. The painting is an exemplary piece of Grevenbroeck's oeuvre and offers a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century life, making it a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike.
