Medoro en Angelica kerven hun naam in boomstam 1757 - 1760

This etching by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, created between 1757 and 1760, depicts the scene of Medoro and Angelica carving their names into a tree trunk. The figures are positioned in a picturesque landscape setting, with the sea visible in the distance. This romantic scene, likely inspired by a literary source, highlights the dramatic use of light and shadow characteristic of Tiepolo's work. The etching's delicate lines and the use of cross-hatching contribute to the overall sense of realism and depth. The scene is a testament to Tiepolo’s talent for capturing intimate moments with an expressive dynamism.
