Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts God the Father with angels and cherubs. The scene shows God the Father, an older man with a long beard, wearing a robe. He is reaching down with his right arm extended and his left arm bent. The man has a staff in his right hand. He appears to be descending from the sky with a billowing robe and cape. There are cherubs and angels around him. Some are flying, and some appear to be on clouds. The cherubs are small and naked. The background is a cloudy sky with some darker spots and stains on the paper. The drawing is done in shades of brown. The overall composition shows movement with dynamic lines. The style is Baroque. The image is by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo.
