This image will also be part of the Little Gallery of St. Anne when that exhibit reopens.
There is another artist named Giovanni Tiepolo, who happens to be
the son, but his name does not have Battista as a middle name, but
rather Domenico: he was born the year the painting was begun.
Both Father and son were Rococo
painters, a movement that followed the Baroque in Europe and which
lasted between 1715 and 1774. The style was most popular in France, and
is generally associated with the reign of King Louis XV [1715-1774]. It
is a light, elaborate and decorative style of art.
Rococo
artists include Jean-Honore
Fragonard, François Boucher, and the Tiepolos.
