Giambattista Tiepolo(Italian, 1696–1770)
Tiepolo's brilliant talents, especially as a decorator of palaces, villas, and churches, won him fame far beyond his native Venice; already by the age of thirty he was referred to as “celebre Pittor.” Tiepolo worked for patrons not only throughout North Italy but also in Würzburg and Madrid. A prolific artist, he painted — both in oils and in fresco — religious, historical, and mythological subjects.
