Description

"In this major new work of art history, Adelheid M. Gealt and George Knox assemble, present, and document for the first time a cycle of 313 drawings of scenes from the New Testament by the eighteenth-century Venetian draftsman Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804). When Domenico died, the drawings were dispersed among various purchasers. Locating, identifying, and documenting them required years of detective work by Gealt and Knox. This book presents the fruits of their labors and is a treasure that any art lover will wish to own. The book will accompany an exhibition to open in October 2006 at The Frick Collection in New York."--BOOK JACKET.
