While Tiepolo is considered the end of a line of olympian Venetian painters, his style differs much from that of Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto. Like Titian and Ricci, Tiepolo was renowned and painted for royalty outside of the island city. Within three decades of Tiepolo's death, the world outside Venice would overcome the Republic, and La Serenissima would disintegrate after a few volleys of Napoleonic grapeshot.
In style, Tiepolo has more afffinity with Ricci, Piazzetta, and Federico Bencovich in his most fluid elaboration. He is a shadowless Rubens. His populated historical set-pieces are enveloped in a regal luminosity, and pompously decorated. It is unfair to judge Tiepolo as lacking pupils and followers, since, for one, his children developed similar, but distinctive styles.
