EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning artwork titled "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" by the renowned Italian Venetian painter and printmaker, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created in 1757 as a design for a fresco in the Villa Valmarana near Vicenza, Italy, this particular piece showcases Tiepolo's exceptional talent with pen and wash on paper. Tiepolo was not only celebrated in Italy but also worked extensively in Germany and Spain. His expertise led to numerous commissions for frescoes in churches and palaces throughout his career. Additionally, he served as President of the Academy of Padua, further solidifying his status as one of the most important artists of his time. "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" is just one example of Tiepolo's ability to capture grandeur and emotion within his works. The scene depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology where Iphigenia faces her tragic fate at the hands of her own father. Through delicate lines and careful shading, Tiepolo brings this dramatic narrative to life. This illustration is sourced from "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo". Volume I by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln (1928). It was once part of the esteemed collection at Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin, Germany. Today it stands as a testament to Tiepolo's immense artistic legacy that continues to inspire generations.
