'Flight into Egypt', before 1752, (1928). 'The Holy Family during the Flight into Egypt, embarking in a small boat', pen with wash on paper. 'It may be taken as certain that this series of drawings precedes the etchings of Domenico Tiepolo of 1752-1753'. At one time known to have been in the collection of Vicomte B d'Hendecourt, London. Italian Venetian painter and printmaker Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770), worked not only in Italy, but also in Germany and Spain. He was commissioned to carry out frescoes in churches and palaces, and was elected President of the Academy of Padua. As well as his large-scale majestic works, he also produced etchings and oil paintings, and is widely regarded as one of the most important artists of the period. Illustration from The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Volume I, by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln. [The Pegasus Press, Paris, 1928]
