This is a rather unusual and particularly handsome example of a certain type of composite composition by Giandomenico, in which he assembles and associates, with extraordinary inventiveness, a variety of unconnected animals within a landscape. Although Giandomenico did make many drawings devoted to animal subjects, the particular combination of creatures seen here is unusual within his work, as is the mise en page, making this one of the most appealing of his many wonderful animal drawings. It seems that the majority of these drawings, including this example, date from the latter part of Giandomenico's career, although James Byam Shaw has pointed out that his interest in this type of subject dates back as far as his visit to Germany with his father, in 1751-53. At that time he amassed, from a variety of sources, an inventory of animal
images on which he was to draw for the next forty years. Byam Shaw has stressed Giandomenico’s debt to the etchings of the prolific Florentine artist, Stefano della Bella, and also to the later Augsburg draughtsman and printmaker, Johann Elias Ridinger (J. Byam Shaw, The Drawings of Domenico Tiepolo, London 1962, pp. 42-45). At the time of the 1988 sale, Byam Shaw suggested the possibility that Giandomenico could have been inspired in the present drawing by the work of Johann Heinrich Roos (1631-1685), but although this is possible, the insertion of the giant tortoise, the owl and the skull are all very much touches of Giandomenico’s own, inexhaustible fantasy, which he applied, in drawings such as this, to create works intended for his own personal enjoyment, or for that of his close circle of friends.
