»Der Arbeit Die Schönheit Geben«

Giambattista Tiepolo ( 9 – 77 ) created his world-renowned frescoes in the Würzburg Residence between 75 and 753. On the occasion of the 25 th anniversary of his death, the Martin von Wagner Museum, which is housed in the Residence, is presenting drawings, etchings, and paintings by Tiepolo, including numerous works from his immediate sphere of activity in Würzburg: sketched notes by his son, Giandomenico, and traced copies by his most important employee, Georg Anton Urlaub. The works presented come primarily from the holdings of the university museum, and are supplemented by international loans.
