Your answer was: Giambattista Tiepolo.
You are correct!!


Answer: The great 18th century Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo ranks as the supreme exponent of the ornamental and asymmetrical Italian Rococo style. Tiepolo is thus associated with decorative, airy frescoes that displayed a partiality for pastel shades and sumptuous costumes. He is considered one of the great Venetian masters, and in his own time nobility and clergy hailed him "the most famous of the virtuosi".
