Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

Italian · 1696–1770

BaroqueRococo

Tiepolo was a master of luminous Rococo frescoes who elevated the human figure through dynamic composition and ethereal light. His approach to depicting mythological and religious scenes emphasized grace, movement, and atmospheric perspective, with figures suspended in expansive architectural spaces. He revolutionized narrative painting through his ability to orchestrate complex figure groups with remarkable spatial coherence and delicate, jewel-toned color harmonies.
