Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1996. Paperback. Like New. 12x10x1. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Light edge wear. Small marking on half title page, else unmarked. <br> "This volume, which accompanies the tricentenary exhibition of Tiepolo's work held at the Museo del Settecento Veneziano, Ca' Rezzonico in Venice and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, explores the various aspects of Tiepolo's artistic production. In essays and in entries on every work shown, eight American and European authorities illuminate his formation; his mastery of mythological and poetic subjects; his deeply moving religious pictures; his rare excursions into portraiture and studies of ideal heads; and the process by which he proceeded from initial ideas - realized in dazzling small-scale oil sketches - to large canvases and frescoes." <br> This is an oversized or heavy book, which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.
