Description
'Few visual artists have made such an extended excursion into so weird and wonderful a realm of their own invention' - "International Herald Tribune". This richly illustrated catalog accompanies the first major exhibition devoted to a comprehensive examination of drawings by Domenico Tiepolo (1727ETH1804). Chief draftsman in the studio of his famous father, Giambattista Tiepolo, Domenico achieved personal distinction as a brilliant and original artists whose fascination with storytelling produced a legacy of pen-and-wash narratives depicting the ordeals of saints and the acts of apostles, the adventures of satyrs and centaurs, the life and times of the popular commedia dell'arte character Punchinello, and the daily activities of his Venetian contemporaries. Essays by Giuseppe Bergamini, Adriano Mariuz, George Knox, and Adelheid M. Gealt consider Domenico's career and working methods as well as his accomplishments and preoccupations as a narrator.
