Trade review
A delightful account of the life and work of Giambattista Tiepolo, regarded as the last 'Olympian' painter of the Venetian Republic, with approximately eighty illustrations that serve as a counterpoint to the text.
Synopsis
The eighteenth-century Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo spent his life executing commissions in churches, palaces, and villas, often covering vast ceilings like those at the Wurzburg Residenz in Germany and the Royal Palace in Madrid. This book states that Tiepolo was more than a dazzling intermezzo in the history of painting.
