"David Garrick (1717-79) as Jaffier and Susannah Maria Cibber (1714-76) as Belvidera in 'Venice Preserv'd, or A Plot Discovered'" is a notable oil painting by the German neoclassical painter Johann Zoffany, created during the 1762-63 theatrical season. The artwork captures a poignant moment from Thomas Otway's tragedy "Venice Preserv'd," with the celebrated English actor David Garrick in the role of Jaffier and the renowned actress Susannah Maria Cibber as Belvidera. The painting is significant for its detailed depiction of 18th-century theatrical practice and its portrayal of two of the most eminent performers of the period.

Johann Zoffany, known for his theatrical and society portraits, was adept at capturing the essence of stage performances and the subtleties of character interactions. In this work, he immortalizes the emotional intensity of the play's climax, where Jaffier and Belvidera confront the turmoil of betrayal and political conspiracy that defines Otway's drama. The painting not only serves as a visual record of Garrick and Cibber's acclaimed performances but also reflects the cultural importance of theater in Georgian England.

The Drury Lane Theatre, where this particular production of "Venice Preserv'd" took place, was one of the most prominent theaters in London at the time. Garrick, who was also a theater manager, had a significant influence on the evolution of acting styles, moving towards a more naturalistic approach. Susannah Maria Cibber was equally influential, known for her powerful emotional expression on stage. Their collaboration in this production was a highlight of the theatrical season and is thoughtfully commemorated by Zoffany's artistic skill.

Today, the painting is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also as a historical document that offers insights into the theatrical conventions and social milieu of the 18th century. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Garrick and Cibber and the rich tradition of the performing arts during the Enlightenment era.
