Punchinellos Hunting Waterfowl is a 1800 ink by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Romanticism work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
A sheet of paper shows a crowd of big-nosed clowns in fancy coats aiming blunderbuss guns at ducks in the air. The men stand on a riverbank with reeds and a small boat nearby. This scene mixes hunting with comedy. The artist draws every detail with quick, confident lines. The clowns look serious about shooting, which makes it funny. Next time you see work by this artist, look up Tiepolo, Giovanni Domenico.
Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (August 30, 1727 – March 3, 1804) was an Italian painter and printmaker in etching. He was the son of artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and elder brother of Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo.
