Episode Description from the Publisher

In s2e38, Ann and Tru continue their History-of-Prints conversation about Venice in the 18th century. This is part three of three in which we talk about father and son, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo. Shift your gaze from the canals to the clouds as we explore the whimsical, light-filled world of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. A master of the Rococo, Tiepolo brought a sense of effortless spontaneity to his etchings, moving his needle with the fluidity of a pen. We break down his transition into the world of "Scherzi di Fantasia," where mythical scenes and fantastical themes come to life with remarkable finesse. Unlike the rigid reproductions of the past, Tiepolo's prints offer a personal narrative and a direct line to his wildest fantasies, proving why he remains one of the most enchanting storytellers in the history of art.  Show me the images !!
