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.
