A spiritual quality is achieved
Winged time awaits thee. The old man, Time, is our relationship to the self. Although, you feel an educated Tiepolo was painting a popular Rococo theme the paintings, speak of himself. Nature is the predominant, theme. The light of Tiepolo's painting is masterful and you are drawn into the composition by the use of perspective but the light is the light of the spirit of god and a very European light. The light of the spirit. The inner spirit's light almost feels Asian and is very much concerned with Christian religion. One of the first experiences of European light is the sky and reminiscent of paintings more of a later Romantic style clouds and the light are muted. Clouds appear to race on by in the Southern Hemisphere as though you are on another planet and coming back from Europe, the experience is going into the light. The softer light of European paintings from a Southern Hemisphere perspective usually looks like the light in the evening during Summer. Tiepolo's light, however, similar to the Southern Hemisphere light is brighter. The monochromatic palette accentuates the feeling of lightness. A spiritual quality is achieved.
