GIOVANNI BATTISTA TIEPOLO, A GROUP OF PUNCHINELLOS, PEN AND BROWN INK, BROWN WASH, OVAL

This previously unknown work joins the relatively small corpus of known drawings by the elder Tiepolo featuring Punchinello, a subject that would greatly inspire his son Domenico later on. Punchinello (Italian Pulcinella) first appears in a drawing by Giovanni Battista circa 1735, in which the figure from the Commedia dell’Arte is cooking gnocchi (Beaux-Arts, Paris, inv. EBA 393; see E. Brugerolles, Les Dessins vénitiens des collections de l'École des Beaux-Arts, exhib. cat., Paris, École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, 1990, no. 51, ill.), and then appears regularly in more finished drawings or even paintings (fig. 1), made as finished works of art, such as a sheet in the Robert Lehman collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (inv. 1975.1.438; see B. Aikema, Tiepolo and his Circle, exhib. cat., New York, The Pierpont Morgan Library, 1996, no. 80, ill.). The drawings were immediately sought after by collectors, as evidenced by a letter from 1761, written by Count Francesco Algarotti to Pierre-Jean Mariette, boasting of ‘the most beautiful Punchinello in the world, by the hand of our famous Tiepoletto’ (quoted in Aikema, op. cit., p. 198). Punchinello was a popular character who in 18th-century had become a clownish figure wearing a tight-fitting white suit, top hat and beaked carnival mask, worn by boys in Verona’s San Zeno district on the last Friday of Carnival. Numerous drawings by Tiepolo show Polichinelle celebrating this occasion, the Venerdì gnoccolare (Gnocchi Friday), during which large quantities of gnocchi and red wine are consumed – to the detriment of the characters’ health.
