He is well known wolrdwide as he assited his father in Wurzburg (Germany), he made stairwell fresco in Vicenza (Italy) and at the Palace of Charles III in Madrid (Spain). La Via Crucis is among the earliest works engraved by Giandomenico Tiepolo, just about twenty years old, where he translates into etchings the namesake series of paintings realised for the oratory of the  Crucifix of S. Polo’s  is among the earliest works engraved by Giandomenico Tiepolo (Venice, 1727-1804), just about twenty years old, where  he translates into etchings the namesake series of paintings  realised for the oratory of the Crucifix of S. Polo’s church in Venice in 1747 commissioned by Bartolomeo Carminati. In the form of a very lively news report, Giandomenico creates scenes characterised by a strong narrative rhythm with bold framings of a picturesque crowd of spectators dressed in mid-18th-century Venetian fashion: characters in exotic costumes appear and stand out despite their irrelevance for the narrative.
