Christus door de engelen boven de tinnen des tempels opgenomen 1737 - 1804

This is a preparatory drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo for the painting "Christus door de engelen boven de tinnen des tempels opgenomen". The drawing, executed in pen and brown wash, depicts Christ being carried by angels into heaven, with a cloud of angels surrounding him. It showcases Tiepolo's mastery of composition and draftsmanship, with dynamic figures and swirling drapery. The drawing provides insight into the artist's creative process and the development of the final painting. The artwork is an example of the Rococo style, characterized by its decorative elements and playful use of light and shadow.
