EDITORS COMMENTS
Raccolta di Teste" (Collection of Heads), a captivating and enigmatic series of artworks by the renowned Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, consists of sixty etchings and three engraved text plates, meticulously created between 1773 and 1774. This complete bound set, now a cherished artifact in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic mind of one of the most influential figures of the eighteenth century. The etchings, executed on delicate laid paper, depict a diverse array of human heads and shoulders, both male and female, arranged in various scenes and settings. Each portrait exudes an uncanny intensity and depth, inviting the viewer to ponder the stories and emotions hidden behind the expressive eyes and intricately detailed features. The three engraved text plates, interspersed throughout the series, add an element of mystery, further fueling the imagination. Born in Venice, Italy, in 1696, Tiepolo was a prolific artist known for his dynamic and colorful paintings. However, his foray into printmaking with "Raccolta di Teste" showcases his versatility and mastery of the medium. The etchings, with their rich contrasts and intricate lines, offer a unique perspective on the artist's conceptualization of the human form and his ability to capture the essence of individuality. As a testament to the artistic heritage of Italy and the broader European cultural landscape, "Raccolta di Teste" continues to captivate and inspire, inviting viewers to explore the depths of human emotion and the boundless creativity of one of history's most celebrated artists.
