Transportation of the Ark of the Covenant (1816) is a fresco by Luigi Ademollo.
In 1816 Ademollo decorated an entire room in Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy with biblical scenes inspired by the history surrounding the Holy Ark of the Jewish people. Before the backdrop of classical architecture, a multitude of people are moving in a frieze-like procession with the Ark of the Covenant and the Menorah being carried under the leadership of the high priest. The subject is an obvious allusion to the return of the Lorena to the government of Tuscany, after the end of Napoleonic rule. The room is now part of the Galleria Palatina, Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy. In 1828 Ademollo painted a fresco on the same subject in the Basilica della Santissima Annunziata, Florence, Italy.
