From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Madonna and Child at Left, with a File of Angels is a 1753 ink by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of winged figures standing on a rocky shore. One figure on the left holds a child, while others stand in a line behind them. Trees and waves fill the background, and the whole scene is drawn in black lines on light paper. The artist used a mix of fine lines and cross-hatching to create shadows and texture. The figures look like they’re floating or walking lightly. Next, check out the technique: etching.
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.
