The Education of the Virgin 1732

"The Education of the Virgin" (1732) by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo depicts a scene of the young Mary being taught by an older woman, surrounded by angels. The painting exemplifies Tiepolo’s signature style, with a focus on dramatic light and dynamic composition. The central figures are enveloped in a heavenly glow, contrasting with the darker shadows of the surrounding figures. This Baroque masterpiece, characterized by its theatricality and rich colors, reflects the artist's mastery in capturing the divine and spiritual aspects of religious subjects.
