EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable sketch by Italian Venetian painter and printmaker Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Titled "Minerva Checks the Wrath of Achilles" this piece is a pen with wash on paper, serving as a preliminary study for one of the frescoes in Villa Valmarana near Vicenza, Italy. Tiepolo's artistic prowess shines through in this composition, capturing the intense moment when Minerva intervenes to restrain Achilles' uncontrollable rage. The intricate detailing and masterful use of light and shadow demonstrate his exceptional skill as an artist. Renowned for his grand-scale frescoes adorning churches and palaces across Europe, Tiepolo was also highly regarded for his oil paintings and etchings. His versatility allowed him to leave an indelible mark on art history during the 18th century. The illustration featured here is extracted from "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Volume I" by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln.
