Afterword: Expansive yet Particularised Moments

A critical reassessment of Giovanni Tiepolo's ceiling fresco (1750–53) in the Würzburg Residence reveals two enduring eighteenth-century interpretations that challenge reductive views of cosmopolitan conviviality. These interpretations emphasize situatedness, spatio-temporal particularities, and limitations—finding relevance for contemporary cosmopolitan philosophy and practice. The study employs close analysis of the fresco's historical context to propose modifications in how cosmopolitanism is understood and applied today.
