The Venetian Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770) was arguably the
greatest painter of eighteenth-century Europe and the outstanding first
master of the Grand Manner. His art celebrates the imagination by
transposing the world of ancient history and myth, the scriptures, and
sacred legends into a grandiose, even theatrical language. His art, with
its genial departures from convention and its brilliant use of costumed
splendor, celebrates the notion of painteric caprice (capriccio) and
fantasy (fantasia). In his hands, the informal oil sketch (1977.1.3) was
raised to a primary art form, worthy to be collected alongside his
finished paintings. For his incomparable fresco decorations—such as
those in Palazzo Labia, Venice, depicting the story of Anthony and
Cleopatra—he collaborated with a specialist in perspective, Girolamo
Mengozzi Colonna (1688–ca. 1766), who also occasionally designed sets
for opera.
