Painting Then For Now is a collaboration between an art historian, a painter and a photographer who are rediscovering the modernism in Giambattista Tiepolo's work, a Venetian 18th century painter who is often credited as the first modernist, and an influence on other seminal painters such as Goya. The artists spent several hours selecting details from 3 canvases that belong to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, from the Ca' Dolfin cycle. A catalogue will be released to coincide with the opening of the exhibition of this series on November 8, 2007. In the book, the illustrations of the prints are rendered as 16.5% of the original size of the prints, and the details in the book are scaled to the actual size of the prints.
