EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's masterpiece, "The Nile" from 1752. The image depicts a river-god in repose, created with chalk on paper as a study for the Africa section of frescoes adorning the staircase-hall in Germany's Würzburg Residence. Preserved at Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, Germany, this artwork exemplifies Tiepolo's exceptional talent as an Italian Venetian painter and printmaker. Tiepolo's artistic prowess extended beyond Italy; he also left his mark in Germany and Spain. His prestigious commissions included creating awe-inspiring frescoes for churches and palaces. Notably, he was elected President of the Academy of Padua during his illustrious career. Renowned for both grand-scale works and smaller pieces like etchings and oil paintings, Tiepolo is widely regarded as one of the most significant artists of his time. This particular illustration comes from Detlev Baron Von Hadeln's book "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo". Volume II (1928), published by The Pegasus Press in Paris. With its intricate details and masterful execution, this 18th-century drawing transports viewers to ancient Egypt along the banks of the majestic Nile River. It serves as a testament to Tiepolo's ability to capture not only physical beauty but also spiritual essence through art.
