Two Men in Oriental Costume (1757) Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
(March 5, 1696 – March 27, 1770), also known as Gianbattista or Giambattista Tiepolo, was an Italian painter and printmaker from the Republic of Venice.
He was prolific, and worked not only in Italy, but also in Germany and Spain.While his painting is infused with the Venetian spirit, his luminosity is not seen in the previous masters; however, Tiepolo is considered the last "Olympian" painter of the Venetian Republic. Like Titian before him, Tiepolo was an international star, treasured by royalty far afield for his ability to depict glory in fresco.
