EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Male and Female Faun" by renowned Italian Venetian painter and printmaker, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created in the mid-18th century, this particular piece was reproduced in 1928 as a pen drawing with wash over pencil on paper. The original work is part of the esteemed Horne Foundation collection in Florence, Italy. Tiepolo's artistic talents extended beyond his native country, as he also worked extensively in Germany and Spain. Known for his grand frescoes adorning churches and palaces, Tiepolo's mastery of both large-scale works and smaller mediums like etchings and oil paintings solidified his status as one of the most significant artists of his time. The illustration featured here is sourced from "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo". Volume II by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln. Published by The Pegasus Press in Paris during 1928, this volume offers a comprehensive exploration into Tiepolo's drawings. In this particular image, we see two fauns - mythical creatures often depicted as half-human-half-goat - one male and one female. Their intertwined bodies create an intriguing composition that highlights their sensuality while capturing the essence of classical mythology. This print serves not only as a beautiful piece to admire but also as a testament to Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's immense talent and lasting impact on art history.
