EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, a renowned Italian Venetian painter and printmaker from the 18th century. Titled "Venus and Cupid" this piece depicts Venus, the goddess of love, cradling Cupid in her arms as they rest upon a soft cloud. The delicate pen strokes combined with wash on paper bring out the ethereal beauty of this allegorical scene. Originally part of the esteemed collection of the Horne Foundation in Florence, Italy, this artwork exemplifies Tiepolo's mastery in capturing both grandeur and intimacy. Known for his frescoes adorning churches and palaces across Italy, Germany, and Spain, Tiepolo was also an accomplished etcher and oil painter. Considered one of the most significant artists of his time, Tiepolo's works often explore themes related to religion and mythology. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke seen within this monochrome illustration. This particular print is featured in Volume I of "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo" by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln. Published by The Pegasus Press in Paris during 1928, it serves as a testament to Tiepolo's enduring legacy as an artist whose work continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
