The Finding of Moses 1560s Jacopo Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti) Italian The biblical story of the Finding of Moses was popular in Venice. Tintoretto gives it an unusual twist by showing Pharaoh’s daughter watching as a nurse is found for the baby (actually his own mother), rather than the more typical discovery of the baby in the bulrushes. The meaning of the hunting scenes in the background remains mysterious. The proportions of the figures and the painting’s sketchy quality have led some critics to suggest that it might be by Jacopo’s son, Domenico.. The Finding of Moses.

Sketch for a Ceiling, 1750s. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian, 1696-1770). Oil on canvas; framed: 51.5 x 43 x 6.5 cm (20 1/4 x 16 15/16 x 2 9/16 in.); unframed: 41 x 34 cm (16 1/8 x 13 3/8 in.). This small, quickly painted picture is typical of the sketches Tiepolo made as studies for larger compositions. When completed full-scale on a ceiling, works like these give the impression of a massive window, through which one can see angels or mythological beings floating among the clouds. Although we know from the work's shape that it was a study for a ceiling painting, it is not related to any of Tiepolo's finished architectural decorations. Tiepolo used such sketches to explore design problems, experiment with form and color, or give his clients an idea of how a finished project would look. With the help of a large workshop, which included two of his sons, Tiepolo completed a number of painted ceilings and decorative schemes across Europe.

Returning to Venice after 24 years of travelling in Asia, Marco Polo was imprisoned and spent the few months of his incarceration recounting his adventures to a fellow inmate, Rustichello da Pisa, who incorporated the tales into a book he called 'The Travels of Marco Polo'. Although the book opened European eyes to the Chinese use of paper money and the burning of coal, many readers were more entranced with some of the legends and folklore that Marco Polo heard along the way. In India, he was told that the island people of the Andamans in the Indian Ocean had heads, eyes and teeth like those of dogs”, which is what at least one artist sought to portray.
