Giandomenico Tiepolo

Giandomenico Tiepolo (Venice 1727-1804), son of Giambattista, a good collaborator and continuator of his father's tradition.
He painted in Venice (Church of San Polo) and Brescia (Church of Santi Faustino e Giovita, Villa of Zianigo). It was however with the frescoes of Würzburg and Villa Valmarana that his work found complete realisation and independence from his father's work.
In Madrid, he painted very important canvases with his father. Coming back to Venice, he was nominated President of the Painting Academy (1780) and worked at the Ducal Palace (1783).
He went back to work in the Villa of Zianigo between 1791-93; the works executed in this period are kept in the Museum of Ca' Rezzonico in Venice.
At the Pinacoteca of Palazzo Chiericati we can see the "Beheading of the Baptist", a work which probably dates back to the years of the Valmarana frescoes.
