Tiepolo and the Pictorial Intelligence by Svetlana Alpers and Michael Baxandall Sales Rank : 1298575

Hardcover: 196 pages Publisher: Yale University Press October 26, 1994 Language: English ISBN-10: 0300059787 ISBN-13: 978-0300059786 Product Dimensions: 11 x 9 x 0.8 inches Shipping Weight: 2.4 pounds Book Description This study by two brilliant and eminently readable art historians looks at Tiepolo`s works as an example of the specifically pictorial as distinguished from the verbal intelligence. Alpers and Baxandall show that Tiepolo`s greatness lies not in stories told, or in meanings pursued, but in the use of his visual medium-drawing, painting and natural lighting. They conclude with a study of his best and biggest painting, The Four Continents at W_rzburg, newly photographed for this book. An appendix offers a gazetteer for travellers.
