EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, an Italian Venetian painter and printmaker from the mid-18th century. Titled "Figures and heads of Orientals" this piece was created in 1928 using pen on paper. Tiepolo's artistic talent extended beyond Italy, as he also worked in Germany and Spain. He received prestigious commissions to paint frescoes in churches and palaces, solidifying his reputation as one of the most important artists of his time. In addition to large-scale works, Tiepolo also dabbled in etchings and oil paintings. The image featured here is an illustration from "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Volume I" by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln. It offers a glimpse into the artist's mastery at capturing intricate details with just a few strokes of his pen. In this particular scene, we see various figures wearing oriental headdresses or turbans. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing Tiepolo's ability to bring life to each character portrayed. This print was once part of the University Collection in Würzburg, Germany but has since found its way into private hands. Its historical significance lies not only within its portrayal of oriental culture but also as a testament to Tiepolo's immense talent that transcended borders and left an indelible mark on art history.
