 Mondo Novo by Giandomenico Tiepolo Ca' Rezzonico is home a beautiful set of frescoes by the Venetian painter Giandomenico Tiepolo (1727-1804). The frescoes originally decorated a villa in Zianigo (near Mirano), which his much more famous father, Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770), bought in 1757. Although the villa was a modest establishment, it was still a mark of a very successful career for one of the greatest Venetian painters of the eighteenth century. Tiepolo senior rarely stayed in the villa, but his son spent long periods there. Over a period of almost forty years (1759-97), Giandomenico decorated the villa with a number of delightful frescoes that were for the exclusive enjoyment of himself and his family. The frescoes were removed from the villa in 1906.  The Pulcinella room  The Swing of Pulicnella by Giandomenico Tiepolo Comments are closed.
