Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo
1727–1804 · Rococo · 6 works
Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, eldest surviving son of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, became his father’s assistant and worked in Venice, Würzburg and Vicenza. In 1762 he went with his father to Madrid, and he returned to Venice after his father’s death in 1770. Long overshadowed, he was a significant painter in his own right, more down to earth and less allegorical.

Walk these 3Rococo began in France, and other cities gave it their own accent. In Venice, Rosalba Carriera made pastel a serious art and Giandomenico Tiepolo found a lighter, earthier manner than his father’s. In London, William Hogarth gave the style a robust British form, and it shaped Thomas Gainsborough’s portraits of women. In Madrid, Francisco de Goya designed Rococo tapestries.
