Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was taught the basic techniques of his profession by Gregorio Lazzarini, a painter known for his decorative, academic style.1
Tiepoloās mother entrusted him to Lazzarini following the death of his father in 1697. While Lazzarini provided his formal training, Tiepoloās artistic development was also significantly influenced by his contemporary Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, as well as his own independent study of both Venetian and foreign masters.1
