Quick Summary

The "Institution of the Rosary" is a fresco by the 18th-century Italian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. He painted this work on the large ceiling of the church of the Gesuati (or Sta. Maria del Rosario) in Venice, reviving the grand style of Roman Baroque decoration. Tiepolo was known for his luminous and poetic frescoes, which, while extending Baroque traditions, captured the elegance of the Rococo period. His son, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, also a painter, collaborated with him on various projects.12
