One of 12 panels for "One Thousand and One Nights" series for the Hotel Terminus, by Vittorio Zecchin, 1914
30-meter-long (100-foot) series of a dozen canvases entitled “Le Mille e una Notta” (One Thousand and One Nights) depicts the procession of Aladdin and his fabulous, gift-bearing entourage of eastern princes and princesses, arriving to seek the hand of the Sultan’s daughter. These were commissioned for the dining room of the Hotel Terminus in Venice, but later were scattered between public and private collections.
