| Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's "Madaonna of the Rosary With Angels" (1735). Sale estimate in excess of $15 million. |
Collecting is something we love to do together, and we love getting to know the artist first. But you can't meet an Old Master, and one of them has work at auction this week. Born in Venice in 1696,
Giovanni Battista (Giambattista) Tiepolo was a painter and
printmaker who painted with the emotion of Titian and Tintoretto. Sotheby's estimates that Tiepolo's "The Madonna of the Rosary with Angels" will sell for over $15 million on Thursday. We won't be bidding, but we will be
watching and that makes Giambattista Tiepolo,
our artist of the week.
