Tiepolo and the Pictorial Intelligence
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 69.68 $Tiepolo is a brilliant example of the specifically pictorial intelligence. This book is both a study of his art and an argument for fuller recognition of the peculiarities of the painter's representational medium.Alpers and Baxandall locate distinctive modes of Tiepolo's representation of the world and human action; follow his process of invention from first pen drawings, through small oil sketches, to great frescoes; and analyse his best and biggest painting, the Four Continents in the Stairway Hall of the Prince-Bishop's Residence at Wurzburg, illustrated with photographs specially taken for the book.The topics taken up include: painting's resistance to enacted narrative drama, its engagement with indeterminacies and repetitions, the senses in which a painter may 'perform' both past art and himself, the constructive roles of gestural drawing, exploitation of shifts of scale between design and finished work, dialogue between the changing natural site lighting and in-picture lighting, contributions made by the beholder's own mobility, the expressive scope of tensions between two and three dimensions, the deep rationale of rococo formal structure, and the sources of the moral force of pictures without an explicit moral.The book - both art criticism and a practical polemic - ends with an annotated gazetteer for travellers, listing those Tiepolo paintings that can still be seen in the places and conditions for which he painted them.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Tiepolo Allegory of the Planets and Continents Oversize Unisex Oblong Silk Scarf
Vendor: Metmuseum.org Price: 145.00 $ (+7.95 $)An inspired art scarf, only at The Met. Bring the drama with this artful scarf featuring a fabulous tableau by the great Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian, 1696-1770). Regarded as the first master of the Grand Manner-a style of painting then celebrated for its idealized, often Classical motifs-Tiepolo was arguably the most outstanding painter of 18th-century Europe. Allegory of the Planets and Continents (1752) ranks among his largest and most dazzling oil sketches, in which a radiant Apollo, the god of light, is set to launch on his daily course across the sky. The deities around Apollo symbolize the planets, while the allegorical figures on the cornice represent the "four continents," which included Europe, Africa, Asia, and America at the time. Tiepolo presented this preliminary sketch to the prince-bishop of Würzburg as his proposal for a palace fresco. The finished work is often considered Tiepolo's greatest achievement. Click

Tiepolo Pink
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 74.00 $The eighteenth-century Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo spent his life executing commissions in churches, palaces, and villas, often covering vast ceilings like those at the Würzburg Residenz in Germany and the Royal Palace in Madrid with frescoes that are among the glories of Western art. The life of an epoch swirled around him—but though his contemporaries appreciated and admired him, they failed to understand him.Few have even attempted to tackle Tiepolo’s series of thirty-three bizarre and haunting etchings, the Capricci and the Scherzi, but Roberto Calasso rises to the challenge, interpreting them as chapters in a dark narrative that contains the secret of Tiepolo’s art. Blooming ephebes, female Satyrs, Oriental sages, owls, snakes: we will find them all, as well as Punchinello and Death, within the pages of this book, along with Venus, Time, Moses, numerous angels, Cleopatra, and Beatrice of Burgundy—a motley company always on the go.Calasso makes clear that Tiepolo was more than a dazzling intermezzo in the history of painting. Rather, he represented a particular way of meeting the challenge of form: endowed with a fluid, seemingly effortless style, Tiepolo was the last incarnation of that peculiar Italian virtue sprezzatura, the art of not seeming artful.

Tiepolo: Masterpieces of the Wurzburg Years : Heaven on Earth
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 51.62 $On 12 December 1750 the Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo arrived in Wurzburg, capital of the small German principality of Franconia. Its ruler, Prince-Bishop Carl Philipp von Greiffenclau, had commissioned him to decorate the Kaisersaal, one of the state rooms in his palace, the Residenz. Later extended to include the decoration of the Residenz's staircase, the commission resulted in a series of frescos that are numbered among the greatest glories of Baroque painting.Created by the last major representative of the Venetian tradition in painting, the frescos in the Wurzburg Residenz are a truly epochal work of art. They form the culmination of a venerable tradition of fresco decoration initiated by Giotto over four hundred years earlier and, in their marriage of mythological and historical subject-matter, constitute a monument to the dying age of absolutism. In his highly readable text Peter O. Kruckmann tells the story of how Tiepolo came to receive the commission, explores in detail the thematic and artistic intricacies of the frescos, and documents their genesis as a continuous process, from the preliminary sketches to the finished works. In examining the relationship between the painted decoration and the architecture of the Residenz, he sheds new light on the place of the frescos in the complex ceremonial rituals of provincial court.During his three-year stay in Wurzburg, Tiepolo, and his son Giandomenico, produced a number of oil paintings for the Prince-Bishop and other German patrons. These works, too, are discussed in this lavishly illustrated volume, which provides layman and expert alike with an informative and visually exciting survey of the masterpieces created in Wurzburg by the man who was probably the greatest painter of the eighteenth century.

Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 60.00 $This study by two brilliant and eminently readable art historians looks at Tiepolo`s works as an example of the specifically pictorial as distinguished from the verbal intelligence.

They conclude with a study of his best and biggest painting, The Four Continents at Wrzburg, newly photographed for this book. The book ends with an annotated gazetteer for travellers, listing those Tiepolo paintings that can still be seen in the places and conditions for which he painted them.

Tiepolo's Hound
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 51.18 $From the Nobel laureate, a "resplently luminous" (Paul Gray, Time) book-length poem on two educations in painting, a century apart.Between me and Venice the thigh of a hound;my awe of the ordinary, because even as I write,paused on a step of this couplet, I have never foundits image again, a hound in astounding light.Tiepolo's Hound joins the quests of two Caribbean men. Camille Pissarro, born in 1830, leaves his native St. Thomas to follow his vocation as a painter in Paris. The poet himself hunts for a detail -- "a slash of pink on the inner thigh/of a white hound" -- of a Venetian painting encountered on an early visit from St. Lucia to New York. Both journeys take us through a Europe of the mind's eye, in search of a connection between the lost, actual landscape of a childhood and the mythical landscape of empire. Published with twenty-six of Derek Walcott's own paintings, the poem is at once the spiritual biography of a great artist in self-exile, a history in verse of Impressionist painting, and a memoir of the poet's desire to catch the visual world in more than words.

Giambattista Tiepolo " il miglior pittore di Venezia"
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 199.44 $Passariano, Villa Manin, 15 dicembre 2012 - 7 aprile 2013.A cura di Giuseppe Bergamini, Alberto Craievich e Filippo Pedrocco.Codroipo Passariano, 2012; cartonato, pp. 340, ill. e tavv. b/n col., cm 24,5x29,5. Giambattista Tiepolo e villa Manin a Passariano. Si tratta di un binomio che evoca un evento straordinario: la mostra del 1971 realizzata in occasione dei duecento anni dalla morte del pittore e destinata a segnare il punto di svolta nella sua fortuna critica.A distanza di tempo l'Azienda Speciale Villa Manin e la Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia realizzano in quella stessa sede un'esposizione monografica in grado di attraversare la complessa parabola artistica del pittore: una mostra di grande impegno che anche alla luce dei numerosi studi susseguitisi da allora consentono oggi una valutazione più ampia e approfondita del Tiepolo. Se ne documenta l'evoluzione stilistica, con l'individuazione di alcuni momenti chiave del rapporto del Tiepolo con i suoi mecenati. Accanto all'esame dei singoli dipinti vengono quindi ricordati i maggiori committenti e gli intellettuali - come Scipione Maffei, Francesco Algarotti, i cugini Zanetti.. - che hanno seguito l'artista fin dagli esordi, influendo sulla sua formazione culturale. Impegnativi restauri promossi proprio in occasione della mostra permettono inoltre di accostarsi ad opere difficilmente visibili per la loro ubicazione o che hanno rischiato di essere compromesse da recenti, traumatici, avvenimenti.Tiepolo è senza dubbio il pittore veneziano più celebre del Settecento, l'instancabile realizzatore di imprese monumentali su tela o a fresco, vero e proprio detentore del monopolio tanto nella decorazione dei palazzi lagunari quanto delle ville di terraferma. Principi e sovrani di tutta Europa si contendono i suoi servigi. La mostra ripercorre la sua lunga e fertile attività attraverso una sequenza di opere particolarmente significative, di soggetto sia sacro che profano, che testimoniano al meglio una casistica estremamen
