Acque-forti dei Tiepolo
An 1896 Venetian portfolio of etchings by the Tiepolo family, published in Venice by F. Ongania and edited by Pompeo Molmenti, reproducing prints by Giovanni Battista, Giovanni Domenico and Lorenzo Tiepolo for art collectors and connoisseurs. The plates show loose, sketchy line work with dense dark hatching against pale paper, classical and pastoral scenes, and crowded figure groups, useful to a designer studying expressive hand-drawn line, tonal contrast and the energy of quick preparatory drawing.
