About Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

1727–1804Republic of Venice

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804) was a Venetian painter, printmaker, and draftsman whose career spanned the twilight of the Rococo era and marked a crucial transition toward more naturalistic artistic expression in 18th-century Italy. Born on August 30, 1727 in Venice as the eldest son of the celebrated Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, he worked both in his father's monumental shadow and as a significant independent artist who developed a distinctly earthbound and humanistic vision.
