Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1727 – 1804) was a Venetian painter and printmaker in etching. His father was Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, also an italian great painter. He studied under his father, at the age of 20 he was producing his own work for commissioners. Often reproducing his own or his father's paintings.
