Lulu And Georgia ‘View Of A Villa’ Wall Art By Giambattista Tiepolo, Original Work Held By The J. Paul Getty Museum

The interplay between light, tone, and texture is at the forefront in this work by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, with clouds casting shadows on the sunlit building, and even the golden brown shadows on the stone outer wall suffused with light. Rapid strokes of ink and dark, fluid washes evoke the flat terrain and bright sunlight of the Veneto region of Italy around Venice.
