Documentary about the Venetian Giovanni Battista Tiepolo - one of the most important fresco painters of the 18th century. Although he also created a number of altarpieces and secular paintings, his real achievements were the ceiling and wall paintings in churches and palaces. His models were Titian and Tintoretto, Piazzetta and Sebastiano Ricci. He mastered even monumental surfaces with almost unbelievable confidence and virtuoso skill.
