A museum director's detective work is restoring a visionary 18th-century Venetian artist to his rightful place in the history of art. Heidi Gealt, director of the IU Art Museum in Bloomington, and George Knox, an emeritus professor at the University of Vancouver, have reconstructed the largest known New Testament cycle produced by a single artist: 313 large, finished drawings in ink and wash by Domenico Tiepolo, one of the foremost Venetian artists active during the second half of the 18th century. Nearly 60 of the finest drawings are on display at the Frick Collection in New York City. A smaller version of the show will be at the IU Art Museum through May 20.
