EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Two Oriental Merchants" by Italian Venetian painter and printmaker Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created in 1753 as a chalk on paper study for the Africa section of frescoes in the Würzburg Residence, Germany, this artwork is now housed in the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart. Tiepolo's artistic genius extended beyond Italy, as he also worked extensively in Germany and Spain. Known for his grand frescoes adorning churches and palaces, Tiepolo was elected President of the Academy of Padua during his illustrious career. His oeuvre includes not only large-scale majestic works but also etchings and oil paintings. The image featured here is an illustration from "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Volume II" authored by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln and published by The Pegasus Press in Paris in 1928. This volume serves as a testament to Tiepolo's significance as one of the most important artists of his time. In this particular artwork, we see two distinguished merchants depicted with remarkable detail. Their oriental attire adds an exotic touch to their presence while emphasizing their role within international trade during the 18th century. Through this masterful composition, Tiepolo captures both the elegance and intrigue that characterized this era. As we admire this striking print today, we are reminded of Tiepolo's enduring legacy as a visionary artist who transcended borders to create timeless masterpieces that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
