According to this interpretation, Tiepolo used a stock number of characters because he saw all religions/mythologies as so many embodiments of the same truths. He painted Iphigenia and Isaac because he saw that civilization is undergirded by the primitive rites of sacrifice. And his paintings all appear as if they’re on a stage because this best expresses the ephemerality of what we recognize as ordinary reality.It seems that for Calasso, European civilization reached its apex in the High Renaissance era when the Greek and Roman gods were in the same paintings as the leading figures of Christianity. Caravaggio, who depicted the Christian saints in the guise of everyday people, began the slow march towards decadence when the power of myth went unrecognized.I do not necessarily agree with Calasso but I’d be hard pressed to argue with him. Like a Foucault of the arts, he has seemingly read everything that is to be said on mythology, art and literature. It’s a difficult book, to be sure, but I had trouble putting it down. For those who want to deepen their understanding of European art, or simply want a reappreciation of Tiepolo, the insights are well worth the fact that you may need to read each sentence two or three times to understand it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Calasso is profound and entertaining *by L***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2013* Roberto Calasso is not light reading, but he does have a consistent dry wit and does not pull punches in social critique.I've read several of his books in English and always feel like Hermes is guiding me on obscure and mystical journeys, showing all sorts of undreamed-of wonders which I totally apprehend while in his company but which afterward often feel as though they are a fleeting dream. This isn't meant in any sort of derogatory way. I love those journeys, but any attempt on my part to analyze or literally describe would be a gross injustice. I just save his books, among the few, for rereading more than once.Hope that gives someone a sense of his writing. He is focused on the deep and unnameable behind the visible, yet I sense he is well-grounded. Tiepolo Pink is overtly more focused or specific than Ka, Cadmus & Harmony, Literature, but somehow only in a holographic sense. Enough inarticulation. . . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily the best written and most incisive writing on Tiepolo's ... *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2018* Easily the best written and most incisive writing on Tiepolo's life and work I have encountered (and I've read most of them!). I particularly appreciated the section on the scherzi prints. It's an effortless read, too, as the prose is smooth and flows in an easy to understand manner (despite the high number of complicated ideas Calasso is presenting). If you're researching Tiepolo this book is a must read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/37551830-tiepolo-pink](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/37551830-tiepolo-pink) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
