Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Prints

About Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, also known as Giambattista, was an Italian painter and printmaker, born in Venice in 1696, who died in Madrid in 1770. He trained with the Venetian painter Gregorio Lazzarini from about 1710 and joined the painters' guild in 1717. He married Cecilia Guardi, sister of the painter Francesco Guardi, and his sons Giovanni Domenico and Lorenzo became his assistants.

Tiepolo is best known for huge, light-filled frescoes, paintings made on wet plaster, in which gods, saints and heroes float across open skies. He decorated palaces and churches across Venice and northern Italy, including scenes of Antony and Cleopatra at the Palazzo Labia (1746–47). From 1750 to 1753 he worked at the palace of the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg in Germany, where his staircase fresco of Olympus and the Four Continents is often counted his greatest achievement. In 1762 he travelled to Madrid at the invitation of King Charles III and painted the ceiling of the Throne Room in the Royal Palace.

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo prints: reproductions of paintings and studies by the Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, dating from about 1725 to 1767. The collection includes The Banquet of Cleopatra (1742), Apollo Pursuing Daphne (1755), Alexander and Bucephalus (1757), The Flight into Egypt (1767) and Young Lady in a Tricorn Hat (1755).

This selection covers three kinds of subject in Tiepolo's work: stories from classical history and myth, such as Antony and Cleopatra and Alexander the Great; religious scenes, including several Madonnas and The Adoration of the Magi; and portrait heads and character studies such as Head of a Philosopher and Woman with a Mandolin. Many of the works show his light palette of pale blue, pink and gold.

The large history scenes work above a sofa, sideboard or dining table; the single figures and religious works suit bedrooms, studies and hallways. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
