The painting "Apotheosis of King Ferdinand IV and Queen Maria Carolina of Naples" by Pietro Bardellino is an impressive work of art that stands out for its baroque artistic style and majestic composition. Measuring 173 x 123 cm, this artwork is a stunning piece that won't go unnoticed.

The painting presents a symmetrical and balanced composition, where the king and queen are represented in the center of the work, surrounded by angels and allegorical figures that crown them as divine rulers. The coloring of the painting is vibrant and full of life, with shades of gold, red and blue creating an intriguing effect of light and shadow.
