EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Africa, 1752-1753" by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, transports us to a different time and place. The artwork is a study for the Africa section of the frescoes in the staircase-hall of the Würzburg Residence in Germany. In this particular image, we see an allegorical figure of a Moorish woman alongside a male nude back. The woman's hands are gently folded in prayer, adding a sense of spirituality to the composition. Tiepolo's use of chalk on paper creates softness and depth within the drawing. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was not only an Italian Venetian painter but also an accomplished printmaker. His talent extended beyond Italy as he worked in Germany and Spain, creating magnificent frescoes for churches and palaces. He was highly regarded during his time and even served as President of the Academy of Padua. "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Volume II" by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln features this illustration among its collection. This volume offers insight into Tiepolo's artistic genius through his etchings and oil paintings. The print captures both the beauty and complexity that tie together artistry with religious symbolism. It serves as a reminder of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's significant contribution to art history during the 18th century.
