EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Nereids and Triton" by Italian Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created between 1753-1762, this piece depicts a group of Nereids, sea nymphs from Greek mythology, accompanied by a triton riding on a dolphin. The artist's skillful use of pen with wash on white paper brings these mythical creatures to life. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was renowned for his grand frescoes in churches and palaces across Italy, Germany, and Spain. His talent extended beyond large-scale works as he also excelled in etchings and oil paintings. As one of the most significant artists of his time, Tiepolo was elected President of the Academy of Padua. This particular illustration is featured in "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo". Volume I by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln. Published in Paris in 1928 by The Pegasus Press, it highlights the intricate details and monochrome beauty captured within Tiepolo's work. With its black and white composition, this print transports viewers back to the 18th century art scene. It allows us to appreciate not only the mastery behind Tiepolo's brushstrokes but also invites us into a world steeped in Greek mythology and maritime enchantment.
