EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Descent from the Cross" by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created in the mid-18th century. The piece is a pen drawing with wash on paper and was once part of G Bellingham Smith's collection in London. Tiepolo, an Italian Venetian painter and printmaker, gained recognition not only in Italy but also in Germany and Spain. He was renowned for his frescoes adorning churches and palaces, earning him the prestigious position of President of the Academy of Padua. His artistic repertoire extended beyond large-scale works to include etchings and oil paintings. Considered one of the most significant artists of his time, Tiepolo's attention to detail and majestic style captivated viewers worldwide. This particular illustration is featured in Detlev Baron Von Hadeln's book "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo". Volume II (1928), published by The Pegasus Press in Paris. The image depicts a poignant scene from Christianity - Jesus Christ being taken down from the cross after his crucifixion. Through delicate lines and subtle shading techniques, Tiepolo conveys deep religious symbolism while evoking emotions within those who observe this powerful moment. This black-and-white print serves as a testament to both Tiepolo's exceptional talent as an artist and his enduring impact on art history during the 18th century.
