GIOVANNI DOMENICO TIEPOLO. Scene of Contemporary Life: The Acrobats

Scene of Contemporary Life: The Acrobats. Artist: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (Italian, Venice 1727-1804 Venice). Dimensions: 11-7/16 x 16-1/4 in. (29 x 41.3 cm). Date: 1727-1804. This amusing composition is one of a large group of finished independent drawings representing scenes of contemporary life that are certainly Domenico's most considerable achievement as a draughtsman. These genre scenes are all of the same large horizontal format, and the date 1791 appears on at least twenty of them. Two of the Met's acrobats, the actress holding a fan, and several of the spectators behind the barricade reappear in "Pulcinella e i saltimbanchi", one of Domenico's frescoes from the Villa Tiepolo at Zianigo, now in the Ca' Rezzonico, Venice. As Byam Shaw stated in 1962: "The drawing though not dated [or signed], is almost certainly of 1791, the fresco probably of 1793. The pentimenti in the legs of the men turning somersaults seem to confirm that the drawing is earlier and was probably used for the painting.".

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Escena de la Vida Contemporánea: Los Acróbatas. Artista: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (Italiano, Venecia Venecia 1727-1804). Dimensiones: 11-7/16 x 16-1/4 pulg. (29 x 41,3 cm). Fecha: 1727-1804. Esta divertida composición forma parte de un gran grupo de dibujos independientes terminados que representan escenas de la vida contemporánea y que sin duda son el logro más importante de Domenico como dibujante. Estas escenas de género son todas del mismo gran formato horizontal, y en al menos veinte de ellas aparece la fecha de 1791. Dos de los acróbatas del Met, la actriz sosteniendo un abanico y varios de los espectadores detrás de la barricada reaparecen en "Pulcinella ei saltimbanchi", uno de los frescos de Domenico de Villa Tiepolo en Zianigo, ahora en Ca 'Rezzonico, Venecia. Como dijo Byam Shaw en 1962: "El dibujo, aunque no está fechado [o firmado], es casi seguro de 1791, el fresco probablemente de 1793. Los pentimenti en las piernas de los hombres que dan volteretas parecen confirmar que el dibujo es anterior y fue probablemente usado para la pintura".
