Text Appearing Before Image:
HE HOLY FAMILYGIOVANNI BATTISTA TIEPOLO 74 GIO\AXXI BATTISTA TIEPOLO Ncnetian, 1696-1770THE HOLY FAMILY TIepolo is the culmination of the art of the Venetian Renais-sance. In his painting and drawing we see how much he benefitedby the influence of the earHer Venetians. He did not possessgreater qualities than they but a technical dexterit\ which re-sulted in an elegance and suggestiveness of line expressed witha confidence almost precocious. In the startling abandon of Tiepolos drawings we recognizethe genius of the man. The handling of the medium, linked as itis with unusual composition, suggests motion; energy becomes aspontaneous outburst, its characteristic elements revolvingupon an axis clearly felt. With a sure knowledge of the ultimateresult, he composes areas full of interest cleverly juxtaposinguntouched forms and shaded portions. Tiepolo was a power,and exerted great influence on seventeenth century decoration. Sepia on paper, 16^ inches by 12 inchesGift of Paul J. Sachs. IS

THE TOPERJEAN ALEXIS GRIMOU 76 JEAN ALEXIS GRIMOU French, 1680-1740IHE TOPl-.R Alexis Grimou was a Swiss but painted niucli in the styleof his French contemporary, Fragonard. In colouring andvivacity his work is similar to that of PVagonard, but it has notthe subtlety or refinement of execution. This picture, however,is painted with power and conveys considerable spirit and ac-tion. The still life is an excellent piece of realism, and has anecessary relationship to the figure. The variety of reddishbrown tones is characteristic of much French art of the period.The composition is particularly happy. One hand holding thegoblet, and the other grasping the jug have natural ease andspontaneity. Oil on canvas. 40 inches by 32 inches 11
