Engel en putti met aflaatboeken van Karmelieter Orde en cherubijnen 1742 - 1746

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo's "Engel en putti met aflaatboeken van Karmelieter Orde en cherubijnen" (1742-1746) is a dynamic etching that depicts an angel surrounded by putti and cherubim. The figures are shown in a heavenly setting, seemingly floating in a sea of clouds. Tiepolo's characteristic use of light and shadow, combined with the intricate detail in the figures' drapery, adds depth and drama to the composition. This work is a testament to Tiepolo's skill in capturing the grace and beauty of the human form. The artist was the son of the famous Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo, whose style is evident in his son's use of the Rococo aesthetic.
