EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the artwork titled "Officer resting, 1752-1753" by Italian Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created in 1928, this chalk on paper study was intended for the ceiling frescoes of the staircase-hall in the Würzburg Residence, Germany. The piece showcases Tiepolo's exceptional talent as both a painter and printmaker. Tiepolo, who lived from 1696 to 1770, was renowned for his grand-scale frescoes found in churches and palaces across Italy, Germany, and Spain. His artistic prowess earned him recognition as one of the most important artists of his time. In addition to large works like this one, he also dabbled in etchings and oil paintings. The officer depicted in this artwork is seen taking a moment to rest amidst what appears to be a military campaign or journey. The intricate details captured through delicate chalk strokes bring life to the scene while showcasing Tiepolo's mastery over his craft. This particular print was once part of Dr Hans Wendland's collection in Lugano, Switzerland before finding its way into The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Volume II by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln published in Paris in 1928. Today it stands as a testament to Tiepolo's enduring legacy and serves as an invaluable piece within art history.
