Rinaldo Abandons Armida, Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo, after Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, 1775
etching, h 204mm × w 277mm More details
The scene depicted here is the same as in the adjacent etching by Giovanni Domenico, Rinaldo abandoning Armida. Both brothers based themselves on works by their father: Giovanni Domenico on a fresco in the Villa Valmarana in Vicenza, Lorenzo on a painting in the palace in Würzburg. Giovanni Domenico’s etching technique is somewhat looser and bolder than that of his younger brother.
