什麼是提埃坡羅

Tiepolo, Giovanni Battista，亦作Giambattista Tiepolo。

義大利畫家、蝕刻師。1730年代他的名聲遠揚於故土威尼斯之外。後來接受委託裝飾米蘭的兩座宮殿（1731）、貝加莫的科利歐尼禮拜堂（1731～1732）以及比龍的洛斯奇別墅（1734）。1736年他應邀去雕刻斯德哥爾摩的皇家宮殿，但是由於威尼斯的教士和貴族競爭其作品，他在那裏一致待到1750年。1750年他與兒子們喬凡尼.多明尼各.提埃坡羅、洛倫佐.提埃坡羅（1736～1776）一同前往符茲堡裝飾大主教王子的宮殿。他的符茲堡壁畫和帆布油畫是他最大膽的色彩最明亮的作品。1762年他與兒子一同接受了繪畫馬德里皇家宮殿天花板的邀請，以逃避七年戰爭的政治動亂，這也是他最後的事業。此後他一直在西班牙，直到逝世。雖然他起初傾向於憂鬱的明暗風格，後來的作品則充滿了明亮的顏色以及大膽的筆繪。他的明亮的充滿詩意的壁畫既擴展了巴洛克屋頂裝飾的傳統，又概括了洛可可風格的輕盈與優雅。提埃坡羅現在一直被譽爲最偉大的畫家。

1696～1770年

Tiepolo, Giovanni Battista

Italian painter and etcher. By the 1730s his fame had gone beyond his native Venice, and he accepted commissions to decorate two palaces in Milan (1731), the Cappella Colleoni in Bergamo (1731-32), and the Villa Loschi at Biron (1734). By 1736 he was invited to decorate the royal palace in Stockholm, but since the Venetian clergy and nobility were vying for his works, he remained there until 1750, when he went to Würzburg with his sons and collaborators, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo and Lorenzo Tiepolo (1736-1776), to decorate the prince-archbishop's palace. His Würzburg frescoes and canvases are his most boldly luminous work. In 1762 he escaped the political disequilibrium of the Seven Years' War by accepting an invitation to paint ceilings in the royal palace in Madrid, again with his sons, his last great undertaking; he remained in Spain until his death. Though he was initially drawn to a melancholic chiaroscuro style, his later work is full of bright color and bold brush play; his luminous, poetic frescoes both extend the tradition of baroque ceiling decoration and epitomize Rococo lightness and elegance. Tiepolo is now ranked with the greatest painters of all time.
