Domenico Tiepolo

Domenico Tiepolo is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Domenico Tiepolo painted large-scale church ceilings in Venice during the late 1700s. His oil sketch St Leo in Glory shows a glowing saint rising above clouds, done to plan a full ceiling for Venice’s San Lio. The work’s quick brushstrokes and bright light belong to the late Baroque tradition.

See how he built drama with simple shapes and bold color. Tap St Leo in Glory to explore the sketch up close and spot the handwritten notes he left along the edges.
