The Religious Paintings of Giambattista Tiepolo: Piety and Tradition in Eighteenth-Century Venice (Clarendon Studies in the History of Art)

This is the first work to concentrate on the great religious paintings of Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770), who produced some of the most ravishing devotional images in Western Art. Scrutinizing both iconography and technique, Barcham shows that Tiepolo's religious art represented the ultimate artistic embodiment of the Venetian Republic's sentiments in that it expressed Venetian patriotism, tradition, and national identity.Barcham, William L. is the author of 'The Religious Paintings of Giambattista Tiepolo: Piety and Tradition in Eighteenth-Century Venice (Clarendon Studies in the History of Art)', published 1990 under ISBN 9780198175018 and ISBN 0198175019.
