TIEPOLO, Giovanni Battista
(b. 1696, Venezia, d. 1770, Madrid)

Portrait of Daniele IV Dolfin

1750s
Oil on canvas, 235 x 158 cm
Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice

Daniele Dolfin was a Procurator in Venice. This splendid portrait, still arranged in seventeenth-century modules, reveals a new sensitivity in its psychological insight. It is one of the finest examples of Tiepolo's shrewd, acute spirit of observation.
