Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Christ Carrying the Cross oil painting


Christ Carrying the Cross
ID de tableau::  63767 		Christ Carrying the Cross
1737-38 Oil on canvas, 450 x 517 cm Sant'Alvise, Venice The subject of the painting is Christ's carrying of the cross to the hill of Golgotha, which rises up in the centre of the picture as a tall rock, the crosses already erected upon it. Directly beneath it in the foreground we see Christ in a flame red robe. He has collapsed under the heavy weight of the cross. To the right, Veronica, holding the sudarium, turns away from the dramatic scene, visibly moved. To the left, the two thieves likewise condemned to crucifixion are being led forward. In the exact centre of the picture, between Christ's cross and the hill of Golgotha, and directly facing the viewer, are the figures of Jesus' disciples, together with Mary and Mary Magdalene. Brightly illuminated, they stand out symbolically from the other figures.Artist:TIEPOLO, Giovanni Battista Title: Christ Carrying the Cross Painted in 1701-1750 , Italian - - painting : religious
   
   
     
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo The Three Angels Appearing to Abraham oil painting


The Three Angels Appearing to Abraham
ID de tableau::  63769 		The Three Angels Appearing to Abraham
1726-1729 Fresco, 4000 x 2000 cm Palazzo Patriarcale, Udine Abraham kneels in prayer, awed by the appearance of the three angels, who float on a very solid-looking white cloud. The scene illustrates both the promise to make Abraham "a father of many nations" and the favour shown by God towards him, as described in the book of Genesis. Although the divine origin of the angels is made clear by their being placed in the upper portion of the picture, Tiepolo has portrayed them with very human features.Artist:TIEPOLO, Giovanni Battista Title: The Three Angels Appearing to Abraham Painted in 1701-1750 , Italian - - painting : religious
   
   
     
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo The Banquet of Cleopatra oil painting


The Banquet of Cleopatra
ID de tableau::  63770 		The Banquet of Cleopatra
1746-47 Fresco Palazzo Labia, Venice For the face of Anthony Tiepolo fell back on a type of portrait which he often used in other contexts, e. g. for the god of war, Mars. This section lets us see the detailed rendering of the ornamental decoration on the armor and helmet, thus demonstrating the importance Tiepolo assigned to such apparently insignificant details.Artist:TIEPOLO, Giovanni Battista Title: The Banquet of Cleopatra (detail) Painted in 1701-1750 , Italian - - painting : historical
   
   
     
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Glory of Spain oil painting


Glory of Spain
ID de tableau::  63772 		Glory of Spain
1762-66 Fresco, 2700 x 1000 cm Throne Room, Palacio Real, Madrid The loading of a European ship with the treasures of the American continent is depicted in a direct allusion to the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus and to the Spanish conquest of the New World in the l6th century. The two Red Indians in the foreground, who throw themselves to the ground in front of the ship, symbolize the Europeans' victory over the natives.Artist:TIEPOLO, Giovanni Battista Title: Glory of Spain (detail) Painted in 1701-1750 , Italian - - painting : mythological
   
   
     
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Glory of Spain oil painting


Glory of Spain
ID de tableau::  63773 		Glory of Spain
1762-66 Fresco, 2700 x 1000 cm Throne Room, Palacio Real, Madrid The sea-goddess Thetis hovers on a cloud, together with her spouse Oceanus, and holds aloft a shell filled with treasures. Tritons and Nereids, who are meant to symbolize the riches of the sea, accompany the scene. The attempt to bridge the austere Classical golden frame using the group of figures and the orange tree at the lower edge of the picture (possibly a personification of the Province of Aragon), and to create the typical connection between the fresco and the space occupied by the viewer does not succeed here.Artist:TIEPOLO, Giovanni Battista Title: Glory of Spain (detail) Painted in 1701-1750 , Italian - - painting : mythological
