About the piece
Created in 1797 as part of a famous series of frescoes for his own villa, Giandomenico Tiepolo's 'Punchinellos at Rest' depicts the iconic Commedia dell'arte character in a rare moment of stillness. The work showcases the artist's transition into a more personal, satirical style, using a soft, airy palette and a sophisticated, slightly mysterious composition that exemplifies the twilight of the Venetian Republic.
