La Sala del Tiepolo
The ceiling features a now almost undecipherable painting by Giambattista Tiepolo, framed by golden stucco work. It dates back to around 1740 and most likely depicts a homage to Venice. Two flying cupids can be seen in the salvaged painting. This is the only one of the numerous works painted by Tiepolo for the Sagredo family that is still in the palace.
Giambattista Tiepolo ( Venice 1696 – Madrid 1770 )
Master 18th century decorator, he was also a draughtsman and skilled engraver. He was among the last and most important representatives of Baroque painting.
A pupil of Lazzarini, he was also influenced by Ricci and Piazzetta, as well as by the great 16th century Venetian painters, with a preference for Veronese.
He was the master of the palette and lightness of stroke in 18th century Venetian painting. His presence was requested everywhere. He created a never-ending supply of frescos, altarpieces and historical and mythological paintings which bear witness to his unlimited creativity.
