Maulbertsch, Franz Anton, 1724-1796. Cronus depicted with other gods on ceiling of the Prunksaal, Bishop's Palace, Szombathely, Hungary. 1783.

Maulbertsch accomplished several ceiling- and vault-paintings depicting apotheosis, many of which include the allegorized figure of Cronus/Time.

The image at right shows the Prunksaal ceiling at the Bishop's Palace in Szombathely. See Kaufmann, Plate 16, reproduced in the image.
