520    Tiepolo is a brilliant example of the specifically 
       pictorial intelligence. This book is both a study of his 
       art and an argument for fuller recognition of the 
       peculiarities of the painter's representational medium. 
       Alpers and Baxandall locate distinctive modes of Tiepolo's
       representation of the world and human action; follow his 
       process of invention from first pen drawings, through 
       small oil sketches, to great frescoes; and analyse his 
       best and biggest painting, the Four Continents in the 
       Stairway Hall of the Prince-Bishop's Residence at Wurzburg,
       illustrated with photographs specially taken for the book.
520 8  The topics taken up include: painting's resistance to 
       enacted narrative drama, its engagement with 
       indeterminacies and repetitions, the senses in which a 
       painter may 'perform' both past art and himself, the 
       constructive roles of gestural drawing, exploitation of 
       shifts of scale between design and finished work, dialogue
       between the changing natural site lighting and in-picture 
       lighting, contributions made by the beholder's own 
       mobility, the expressive scope of tensions between two and
       three dimensions, the deep rationale of rococo formal 
       structure, and the sources of the moral force of pictures 
       without an explicit moral. The book - both art criticism 
       and a practical polemic - ends with an annotated gazetteer
       for travellers, listing those Tiepolo paintings that can 
       still be seen in the places and conditions for which he 
       painted them. 
561    In Memory of Laurie A. Chreitzberg.
