Tiepolo

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was an 18th-century Italian painter known for his dynamic, luminous ceiling frescoes and elegant, dramatic compositions. His work often featured mythological, religious, and historical themes, characterized by vivid colors and a sense of movement that brings scenes to life. Tiepolo's mastery of light, perspective, and theatricality helped elevate Baroque art, making his frescoes appear almost three-dimensional. His influence extended across Europe, inspiring decorative art and fresco painting with his inventive style and grandeur.
