| biography:
| Artist, born in Venice, NE Italy. The last of the great Venetian painters, he became renowned as a decorator of buildings throughout Europe. Examples of his work can be found in the ceiling paintings of the Würzburg and Madrid palaces, where his imaginary skies are filled with floating, gesticulating, Baroque figures, apparently unbounded by the structure of the buildings. |
