Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804) was a painter, son of the more famous Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and elder brother of Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo. ==Life History== Domenico was born in Venice, studied under his father, and by the age of thirteen was the chief assistant to him. He was one of the many assistants, including Lorenzo, that transferred the designs of his father (executed in the 'oil sketch' invented by the same). By the age of 20, he was producing his own work for commissioners. He assisted his father in Wurzburg 1751-1753, decorating the famous stairwell fresco, in Vicenza at the Villa Valmarana in 1757, and in Madrid at the palace of Charles III of Spain from 1762-1770. ==Works== His painting style developed after the death of his father in 1770, at which point he returned to Venice, and worked here as well as in Genoa and Padua. His painting, though keeping the decorative influence of his father, moved from its spacial fancy and began to take a more realistic depiction. His portraits and scenes of life in Venice are characterised by movement, colour, and deliberate composition. After a lapse of 15 years, his work developed from the religion and mythology subjects of his father, to a more secular style. He produced 104 sketches of Punch and Judy, the standard character of the ''commedia dell'arte'' (which would later become ''Punch'' in Punch and Judy), a physically deformed clown. These were created as 'Entertainments for the Children', and attempted to poke fun at the pretensions and behaviour of the viewer. The same protagonist featured in frescos in his family villa in Venice. Many of Domenico's works are as drawings with ink wash, and he was appreciated as a master draftsman. His ''St. Ambrose Addressing the Young St. Augustine'' sketch is typical of the commissions he would receive. St. Ambrose, with the ''crozier'' and ''mitre'', addresses and gives religious instruction to the beardless St. Augustine. The composition has the pomp and grandiosity of his father's work, set out as if part of a theatrical display. He, however, takes 18th century Venice as the setting for this 4th century act, drawing on his experience of the city and his many works depicting life in it.
