The Flight, with Madonna at Right Supported by Angels

Executed through the etching process, Tiepolo employs incisive line work and nuanced hatching to model light and shadow, creating a sense of movement across the rugged terrain. The sharp contours of the figures and the atmospheric sky amplify tension, while the delicate rendering of the angelic forms introduces a softer, hopeful counterpoint within the overall dramatic register.

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, the son of renowned painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and elder brother of Lorenzo Baldissera Tiepolo, produced this print during a prolific period of his printmaking career. Although specific ownership records are limited, the work is documented among his mid‑18th‑century etchings, reflecting his engagement with religious subjects and his skill in translating painterly ideas into the graphic medium.
