Biography
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) was an Italian painter known for his dramatic and vibrant frescoes and oil paintings. He is considered one of the leading figures of the Rococo period, known for his elegant and light-filled compositions, often depicting mythological and religious themes. His works are characterized by swirling lines, rich colors, and a sense of theatrical grandeur, such as his signature use of illusionistic ceiling paintings that seem to open up into vast celestial realms. His works are held in prominent museums and churches across Europe, with notable examples in Venice, Madrid, and Würzburg.
