GIOVANNI D. TIEPOLO
The Triumph of Hercules.

Etching, circa 1780. 690x508 mm; 271/4x20 inches, small margins. Third state (of 3). Crowned coat-of-arms with a hand holding a baton watermark. Several expertly repaired edge tears, some just into the image, small restored losses lower left edge and lower margin left on the plate mark. A very good impression of this large, important and scarce print, with strong contrasts.

We have found only 4 other impressions at auction in the past 20 years. DeVesme 101; Rizzi 147.
