Jacopo Guarana
Jacopo Guarana (October 28, 1720 – April 18, 1808) was a Venetian painter of the late Baroque period who was born in Verona. He was active mainly in Venice and its mainland territories.
In 1750 he completed frescoes for the interior of
Palazzo Mocenigo a San Stae
.
Guarana is the last remaining direct heir of the Tiepolesque tradition. He was a founding member of the Venetian Accademia di Belle Arti and is said to have studied under Sebastiano Ricci, then with Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
Among his most popular works are the wall frescoes at the concert hall of the
San Polo
, his work would have been considered "retardataire", a glimpse of a lapsing past.
[1] His son, Vincenzo Guarana, born in 1742, was also a painter.
Pastellist Anna Pasetti was active as a copyist in Guarana's studio.[2]
