This book was released on 1989 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first work to concentrate on the great religious paintings of Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770), who produced some of the most ravishing devotional images in Western Art. Scrutinizing both iconography and technique, Barcham shows that Tiepolo's religious art represented the ultimate artistic embodiment of the Venetian Republic's sentiments in that it expressed Venetian patriotism, tradition, and national identity.

Book excerpt: Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770) was the greatest Italian painter of the eighteenth century, best known for his monumental frescoes and epic altarpieces. The scale of these paintings is immense, even overpowering. Yet some of Tiepolo's finest work can be found in the small oil sketches that he often made in preparation for these grand commissions. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Giambattista Tiepolo: Fifteen Oil Sketches brings together a group of the artist's oil sketches from the Courtauld Institute in London that spans his entire career and reveals the amazing confidence and fluidity with which he created these paintings. The unusual intimacy of these preparatory sketches-made directly on the canvas with no preliminary underdrawing-reveals a great artist's vigorous imagination at work. The exhibit will run from May 3, 2005, to September 4, 2005. An introductory essay situates these works within the context of eighteenth-century art and Tiepolo's life and career.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in conjunction with an exhibit which opened in Venice in 1996 and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York during the first part of 1997. The exhibit organizers aimed to show Tiepolo as one of the presiding geniuses of the European imagination. In essays and entries on every work shown, the text illuminates his formation; his mastery of mythological and poetic subjects; his religious pictures; his excursions into portraiture and studies of ideal heads; and the process by which he proceeded from initial ideas--small- scale sketches--to large canvases and frescoes. Beautifully produced, the volume makes a stunning impact, and will have to suffice for those who can't make it to the exhibit itself.

This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, which accompanies the tricentenary exhibition of Tiepolo's work held at the Museo del Settecento Veneziano, Ca' Rezzonico in Venice and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, explores the various aspects of Tiepolo's artistic production. In essays and in entries on every work shown, eight American and European authorities illuminate his formation (still poorly understood); his mastery of mythological and poetic subjects; his deeply moving religious pictures; his rare excursions into portraiture and studies of ideal heads; and the process by which he proceeded from initial ideas - realized in dazzling small-scale oil sketches - to large canvases and frescoes. Written for the scholar and general reader alike, these texts are lavishly supported by illustrations of Tiepolo's works and those of his predecessors and contemporaries. A documented chronology of Tiepolo's life and art, detailed provenances, references, and a bibliography are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that Santi Cosma e Damiano was a reform convent, the author of this interdisciplinary study explores how its nuns employed art and architecture as a means to actively express their specific religious concerns. While focusing on the reconstruction of the history and construction of the convent, this study's larger concern is with the religious reform movement, and with the convent as a space for female self-realization in early modern Venice.
Download or read book Tiepolo Pink written by Roberto Calasso and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth-century Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo spent his life executing commissions in churches, palaces, and villas, often covering vast ceilings like those at the Würzburg Residenz in Germany and the Royal Palace in Madrid with frescoes that are among the glories of Western art. The life of an epoch swirled around him - but though his contemporaries appreciated and admired him, they failed to understand him. Few have even attempted to tackle Tiepolo's series of thirty-three bizarre and haunting etchings, the Capricci and the Scherzi, but Roberto Calasso rises to the challenge, interpreting these etchings as chapters in a dark narrative that contains the secret of Tiepolo's art. Blooming ephebes, female satyrs, Oriental sages, owls, snakes: we will find them all, including Punchinello and Death, within the pages of this book, along with Venus, Time, Moses, numerous angels, Cleopatra and Beatrice of Burgundy - a motley, gypsyish company always on the go. Calasso makes clear that Tiepolo was more than a dazzling intermezzo in the history of painting. Rather, he represented a particular way of meeting the challenge of form: endowed with a fluid, seemingly effortless style, Tiepolo was the last incarnation of that peculiar Italian virtue sprezzatura, the art of not seeming artful.
Download or read book Domenico Tiepolo written by Adelheid M. Gealt and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major new work of art history, Adelheid M. Gealt and George Knox assemble, present, and document for the first time a cycle of 313 drawings of scenes from the New Testament by the 18th-century Venetian draftsman Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804). When Domenico died in 1804, the drawings were dispersed among various purchasers. Locating, identifying, and documenting them required years of detective work by Gealt and Knox. This book presents the fruit of their labours and is a treasure that any art lover will wish to own. The book will accompany an exhibition to open October 2006 at The Frick Museum in New York.Introductory chapters by Knox and Gealt provide a history of the drawings and a discussion of the literary and pictorial traditions in which Domenico worked and the complexities of his narrative approach. The heart of the book is a catalog of full-colour reproductions of the drawings, arranged to follow the New Testament narrative from the lives of Joachim and Anna (Christ's grandparents) through the acts of Peter and Paul. The accompanying text includes the biblical passages depicted in each drawing, synopses of the stories that Domenico tells, and commentaries. A reference section provides further information on the traditions of iconography and on the biblical and historical sources reflected in Domenico Tiepolo's work.Adelheid M. Gealt has been Director of the Indiana University Art Museum since 1989. An internationally recognized expert on Domenico, she is the author of Domenico Tiepolo: The Punchinello Drawings (Braziller, 1986).George Knox, Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia, is an authority on Venetian art and has published on the works of both Gimabattista and Domenico Tiepolo.Gealt and Knox are coauthors of Domenico Tiepolo: Master Draftsman (IUP, 1997).
