Who was he? And what was the significance of the dark, bizarre etchings depicting sacrifice and magic, which he created alongside his heavenly works? Roberto Calasso explores Tiepolo as the last artist of the ancien régime and at the same time the first example of the \"painter of modern life\" evoked by Baudelaire. He was the incarnation of that peculiar Italian virtue sprezzatura: the art of not seeming artful.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by Alastair McEwen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'A brilliant, eccentric, provocative . . . and thoroughly splendid celebration of a great painter' John Banville, The New Republic\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Calasso is a myth-maker ... a book that treats paintings as a kind of sorcery' Peter Conrad, Observer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241399422\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.0 x 1.1 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Italian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50124751503664,"sku":"Trans_9780241399422","price":600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91HOl_4nwvL.jpg?v=1757500799","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/tiepolo-pink-penguin-modern-classics","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
