c. 1720-1730
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian (active Venice, Udine, Würzburg, and Madrid) 1696–1770)
Tiepolo was the last great exponent of the Venetian painting and drawing tradition, conspicuous among his contemporaries for his command of fresco, easel painting, drawing, and etching. He worked in Milan, Padua, Würzburg, and Madrid, as well as in Venice, creating brilliantly colored, airy, and illusionistic wall and ceiling decorations.
