Bring The Drama With This Artful Scarf Featuring A Fabulous Tableau By The Great Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian, 1696–1770). Regarded As The First Master Of The Grand Manner—A Style Of Painting Then Celebrated For Its Idealized, Often Classical Motifs—Tiepolo Was Arguably The Most Outstanding Painter Of 18Th-Century Europe. Allegory Of The Planets And Continents (1752) Ranks Among His Largest And Most Dazzling Oil Sketches, In Which A Radiant Apollo, The God Of Light, Is Set To Launch On His Daily Course Across The Sky. The Deities Around Apollo Symbolize The Planets, While The Allegorical Figures On The Cornice Represent The “Four Continents,” Which Included Europe, Africa, Asia And America At The Time. Tiepolo Presented This Preliminary Sketch To The Prince-Bishop Of Würzburg As His Proposal For A Palace Fresco. The Finished Work Is Often Considered Tiepolo’S Greatest Achievement.
