👨🎨 5 March 1696. Born in Venice Giovanni Battista Tiepolo also known as Gianbattista, a prominent painter of the Rococo and Neoclassical styles, considered important member of the 18th-century Venetian school. That's what we say a Family of Artists, Gianbattista married the sister of Francesco #Guardi (another great Venetian Painter of the time) and had 2 sons both great painters, Giandomenico Tiepolo and Lorenzo Tiepolo. You can find Gianbattista #Tiepolo works in all most important art museums of cities such as Madrid, New York, Washington, Melbourne, Lisbon, Stockholm, Berlin, Rome, Milan, Bergamo, Padua... In Venice of course you can admire most of his paintings and frescoes in various locations, like the Accademia Galleries, Ca' Rezzonico Museum, Scuola Grande di San Rocco, San Stae Church, Sant'Alvise Church and in some private palaces. In the Chat Room 👇I post some of his paintings/frescoes in Venice...

👨🎨5 October 1712. Francesco Guardi, one of the most famous Venetian painters was born in Venice.
Francesco Lazzaro Guardi was a nobleman and a member of the Venetian School. He is considered to be among the last practitioners of the classic Venetian school of painting.
He is famous for his "vedute" (views) but differently from those of his contemporary and much more famous #Canaletto which are like a proper photography, his #VeniceViews are evanescent and almost unreal.
It looks like the paintings of #Guardi met the music of his contemporary #Vivaldi: Venice at the peak of its magic!
Not many works of #FrancescoGuardi are held in Venice, the most famous ones are exhibited in other Italian and international museums: like the 3 in the above pictures☝️ which are visitable in Modena Galleria Estense, Paris Louvre, Bergamo Accademia Carrara.
His portrait was made by another great Venetian artist, #PietroLonghi and is held inside the Ca' Rezzonico 1700 Museum in Venice.
