giovanni battista tiepolo

Tiepolo’s paintings are full of movement, often featuring intricate compositions with numerous figures that convey the atmosphere of a splendid festivity. He employed a rich palette often dominated by light, radiant tones, and demonstrated exceptional command of chiaroscuro, creating an illusion of depth and volume that accentuates the beauty of form and texture. In addition to his monumental ceiling frescoes and painted plafonds adorning palaces and churches, Tiepolo also worked in other genres, producing portraits and paintings on mythological, historical, genre, and religious subjects. Tiepolo’s greatest masterpiece is the series of frescoes in the Würzburg Residence (the former Episcopal Palace), particularly the vast ceiling above the grand staircase, depicting the Four Continents. Other notable works include Our Lady of Mount Carmel with St. Simon Stock, St.Teresa of Avila, St. Albert of Vercelli, the Prophet Elijah and the Souls in Purgatory, The Triumph of Amphitrite, and The Adoration of the Magi. Today, Tiepolo’s works are housed in major museums worldwide, including the Museo del Prado in Madrid and the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice.
