Context:
Giandomenico Tiepolo, one of the important Venetian fresco painters of the 18th century, is best known today for narrative drawings that join scenes from daily life with historical or invented stories. During the 1780s and 1790s he produced several series of narrative drawings, including the so-called Large Biblical Series, from which this drawing comes. This impressive series of over 260 large vertical sheets relates stories from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha, and the Acts of the Apostles.The Disrobing of Christ (Station X of the Via Crucis, or Stations of the Cross) combines Giandomenico's ability to concentrate on the essence of a historical scene while incorporating peripheral characters that add a touch of contemporary reality. The artist enlivened the composition with a distant landscape and the diagonal sweep of the cross that leads to the central figures. He also placed one of the executioners on his knees in front of Christ (setting the executioner apart by a means of a colorful brown wash), adding a potent, ironical moment to the event. In this subtle manner Giandomenico implied the impact of Christ's presence and the religious significance of his death.
