Piazzetta (English spelling) Giovanni Battista Piazzetta

Japanese: ピアツェッタ - ぴあつぇった(英語表記)Giovanni Battista Piazzetta
Piazzetta (English spelling) Giovanni Battista Piazzetta

Italian Venetian painter. Born in Venice on February 13, he died there on April 9, 1754. After training under his father Giacomo, a wood sculptor, and the painter Antonio Molinari (1665-1727), he studied under Giuseppe Maria Crespi (1597-1630) in Bologna, where he learned strong contrasts of light and dark and dynamic composition. In 1711, he joined the Venetian painters' guild. After early works such as The Martyrdom of St. James (1717, San Stae) and The Appearance of the Virgin to St. Filippo Neri (1725-27, Santa Maria della Faba), he painted the large-scale The Triumph of St. Domenico (Santi Giovanni e Paolo) in 1727, establishing a bright and light-hearted style. He reached his prime in the 1740s, and works such as The Fortune Teller (1740, Venice Accademia Gallery) and Rebekah at the Well (c. 1740, Brera Gallery) are characterized by vivid coloring and solid composition, making him, along with Tiepolo, one of the leading Venetian painters of the 18th century. In 1750, he became the first director of the Accademia, but his style was already showing signs of decline.

イタリア、ベネチア派の画家。2月13日ベネチアに生まれ、1754年4月9日同地で没した。木彫家の父親ジャコモや画家アントニオ・モリナーリAntonio Molinari(1665―1727)のもとで修業したのち、ボローニャのクレスピGiuseppe Maria Crespi(1597―1630)の門に入り、強い明暗の対比と動的な構図を学んだ。1711年ベネチアの画家組合に登録。『聖ヤコブの殉教』(1717、サン・スタエ聖堂)、『聖フィリッポ・ネリへの聖母の御出現』(1725~27、サンタ・マリア・デッラ・ファバ聖堂)などの初期作品ののち、27年に大作『聖ドメニコの勝利』(サンティ・ジョバンニ・エ・パオロ聖堂)を描き、明るく軽快な画風を確立した。40年代に円熟期を迎え、『女占い師』(1740、ベネチア・アカデミア美術館)、『井戸端のリベカ』(1740ころ、ブレラ美術館)などには生き生きとした賦彩と堅固な構成とがみられ、ティエポロとともに18世紀ベネチア絵画を代表する画家となった。50年にはアカデミアの初代院長になったが、作風はすでに衰えをみせていた。
