TIEPOLO, GIOVANNI BATTISTA, born in Venice, April 16, 1696, died in Madrid, Mar. 27, 1770. Venetian school; pupil of Gregorio Lazzarini; afterwards influenced by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and still more by Paolo Veronese, whose equal he was reputed to be, in the decadence of Venetian art, though he was very far from being so as a colourist. But he has been rightly called the last great decorative painter of the Venetian school. After painting frescos in Milan and other Italian cities, he went to Wurzburg in 1750, and on his return to Venice (1753) was appointed first director of the Academy of Painting. In 1761 he was called to Spain by Charles III., became a favourite at the court of Madrid, and executed, with the assistance of his son, Giovanni Domenico (born, 1726, died after 1777), frescos in the royal palace with such success as to excite the jealousy of Raphael Mengs, then court painter. Tiepolo produced some showy pictures, of which one of the best is the Banquet of Cleopatra, Hermitage, St. Petersburg.
