{"title":"Giovanni Battista Tiepolo","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696, Venice – 1770, Madrid) is the great master of Venetian Rococo, famous for his expansive frescoes, bathed in light and theatrical fantasy. Between the virtuosity of his drawing and an airy chromatic palette, Tiepolo combines Baroque dramatism with the grace of the 18th century. His specialty is mural painting \"di sotto in sù,\" where ceilings illusionistically open up to the sky, and characters — gods, heroes, allegories — float in swirling clouds and draperies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Venice, he created memorable cycles for palaces and churches, and in Palazzo Labia (The Banquet of Cleopatra), he achieves a pinnacle of scenographic grandeur. His collaboration with the quadraturist Gerolamo Mengozzi Colonna enhances the painted architectural effects, melting real space into the spectacle of the image. At Villa Valmarana ai Nani (Vicenza), Tiepolo combines mythology and chivalric epic in a poetry of light; at the Residenz in Würzburg, he creates one of Europe's most impressive vaults, a vast allegorical firmament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe call to the Spanish court of Charles III concluded his journey: at the Royal Palace in Madrid, Tiepolo painted large ceiling compositions with allegorical triumphs, crystallizing his ideal of painting as sovereign spectacle. Besides frescoes, the print albums \"Capricci\" and \"Scherzi di fantasia\" reveal the inventive, capricious side of the draftsman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough monumentality, ease of composition, and an incomparable sense of light, Tiepolo remains the symbol of a painting that transcends architecture and transforms it into a theater of dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"giovanni-battista-tiepolo-studiu-cu-doua-personaje","title":"Giovanni Battista Tiepolo - Figures in Costume (Treasure)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003esanguine and white chalk on grey paper with watermark - Lily Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e29.5 × 16 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDOCUMENTARY DATA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe work is classified in the Thesaurus category of the National Movable Cultural Heritage, by order of the Minister of Culture, no. 2510 of 24.01.2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROVENANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eArtmark Bucharest, acquired in 2020, with Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCollection of Romanian diplomat Vasile Stoica, collection taken over in 1977 by the National Museum of Art of Romania, and after the fall of the communist regime, restituted to the diplomat's heirs in 2009. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInventory no. 3425\/259\/91 Art Museum of Romania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eExpertise report drawn up by expert Dr. Cătălina Macovei, head of the Print Cabinet, Library of the Romanian Academy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold text-uppercase\"\u003eABOUT TIEPOLO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description text-justify\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Venetian Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1696-1770) undoubtedly represents one of the most important artists of the 18th century and of Mannerism. His art conveys a theatrical and grandiose image of the ancient world, of myths, and of sacred legends. His first major works are a series of enormous canvases depicting ancient battles, created to decorate the reception hall in Ca’ Dolfin, Venice.\u003cbr\u003eGiovanni Battista Tiepolo is also recognized for the spontaneity and accuracy with which he applied wash on paper, creating vivid, expressive portraits. With an exceptional descriptive capacity, the artist translated the emotions and character of the figures into his sketches, through animated gestures or carefully observed details.\u003cbr\u003eHis talent quickly brought him fame; in Italy, he was seen as a magician of wall and vault paintings, and in Padua, he was appointed president of the Academy of Art. Tiepolo was presented everywhere as the ideal expert for monumental, panegyric, and apotheosis scenes, his frescoes also having the quality of being viewable with the same effect from multiple angles.\u003cbr\u003eThe present studies are a relevant example of the maturity with which Tiepolo worked in sanguine or white chalk (a technique he began to use more and more frequently from 1740-1743). These figures, looking into the distance, appear to be, by their attire, from the Venetian nobility. Beginning with quick and simple applications of sanguine, the artist outlines the shadows, which he deepens and makes vibrant by applying white chalk to the edges of the forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description text-justify\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold text-uppercase\"\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description text-justify\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eALPERS, Svetlana, BAXANDALL, Michael, \u003cem\u003eTiepolo and the Pictorial Intelligence\u003c\/em\u003e, Yale University Press, 1994.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description text-justify\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eMILLER, Arthur, \u003cem\u003eThe Drawings of Tiepolo (Master draughtsman series)\u003c\/em\u003e, Borden Publications, 1956.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eCRISTANTE, Cristina Donazzolo, GRANSINIGH, Vania, \u003cem\u003eGiambattista Tiepolo, tra scherzo e capriccio\u003c\/em\u003e, Electa, 2010.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eMAZZOCCA, Fernando, MORANDOTTI, Alessandro, \u003cem\u003eTiepolo - Venezia, Milano, l'Europa\u003c\/em\u003e, Gallerie d'Italia - Skira, 2020.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Artiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50009221628242,"sku":"","price":50000.0,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/1526\/3570\/files\/GiovanniBattistaTiepolo.Personajetravestite29.5x16.jpg?v=1735575936"}],"url":"https:\/\/artiss.ro\/en\/collections\/giovanni-battista-tiepolo.oembed","provider":"Artiss","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
