On the occasion of the two hundred and fifty years since the death of Giambattista Tiepolo (Venice 1696 - Madrid 1770), the Gallerie d'Italia hosts the first Milanese exhibition entirely dedicated to the great painter and his works and to important artists of his contemporaries (including the Venetian Antonio Pellegrini, Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, Sebastiano Ricci and the Lombard Paolo Pagani) and traces the vicissitudes of the Venetian master.
A beloved and esteemed painter not only in Italy, Tiepolo boasted commissions in Milan, under Hapsburg rule; at the court of Desdra where his friend, philosopher, scholar and connoisseur Francesco Algarotti, his staunch supporter and admirer, played the role of advisor to Augustus III; and finally in Spain, under the wing of King Charles III Bourbon.
The volume opens with essays by: Fabrizio Magani, Alessandro Morandotti, Andrés Úbeda de los Cobos, Fernando Mazzocca.
