The corpus of etchings left by Lorenzo Tiepolo (Venice, 1736 – Humera, 1776) is small; only eleven prints are known to us. However, it was in this medium that the artist showed his individuality, differentiating himself from his father and brother. Based solely on reproductions of Giambattista’s paintings, these etchings show the mastery the younger Tiepolo had achieved in the use of chiaroscuro to render the chromatic effects in his father’s works. The plate that has come down to us, as part of the Correr collection, is the Miracle of St. Anthony of Padua, reproducing a work that Giambattista painted (in collaboration with Giandomenico) for the parish church of Mirano.
