Tiepolo, Neumann, and the Wuerzburg Frescoes

A small page about Tiepolo's life and work, including the famous ceiling
frescoes in the Würzburg Palace, and the architect Johann Balthasar Neumann
is now online at

http://arthistory.heindorffhus.dk/frame-Tiepolo.htm

In 2000 the Würzburg Palace was declared World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.

To Rodney: at the bottom of the page there is an image (not stamp) that
might particularly interest you :-)

Brilliant!
A fine page Mette, I think I have a decided favourite
with my artists now.
I thought he captured Neumann's station vividly,
full of ego and respect, which he no doubt commanded.
I was curious about the rosette? on his wrist, or is that part of
the fur thing on which he rests.

Feel free to expand the page anytime

I don't really know. It could be part of the general decoration that often
came with Rococo dresses, some sort of "male bracelet", like the enormous
wig [a true moth-catcher ;-)] that really gave some weight to the person
wearing it ;-)

Feel free to send me any Tiepolo-stamp for the purpose that you might come
across :-)
