Running Exhibition from September 3rd to December 5th 2004
"TIEPOLO - Ironia e Comico"

Cini Foundation offers an extraordinary occasion to study in depth the comical side of Tiepolos' art through the exhibition of more than 50 drawings by Giambattista Tiepolo and his son Giandomenico Tiepolo. All of them are caricatures of common caracters such as priests, nobles, famous singers and the famous mask Pulcinella that soon became an obsession for both artists, father and son, becoming the symbol of fantastic of the real world for Giambattista Tiepolo and an instrument to denounce the fall of ideals for Giandomenico. Among paintings brought here we like to mention the Giambattista Tiepolo's Punchinello's kitchen, a masterpiece considered lost for many years recently found in an english castle.

Opening hours: from 10 am to 6.30 pm.
