(1) Giuliano Giampiccoli
(b Belluno, 3 May 1703; d Belluno, 10 Dec 1759). He was the nephew of Marco Ricci. About 1735 he moved to Venice, where he worked for the publisher Joseph Wagner, and in 1740 he took charge of the engraving department of the copperplate printers Remondini of Bassano. He employed both engraving and etching techniques in his Racolta di 12 paesi inventate e dipinte dal celebre Marco Ricci (examples Venice, Correr, see 1983 exh. cat., figs 206, 207), and in the five large landscapes (e.g. Venice, Fond. Querini-Stampalia), also after Ricci, from another set of twelve (completed by Francesco Bartolozzi) for Joseph Wagner. His most important work was the series after Ricci of landscape views (36 landscapes with 2 frontispieces) published c. 1740 and reprinted with additions in 1775 by Teodoro Viero (48 landscapes and 4 frontispieces): 42 of these prints were etched in collaboration with Giambattista Tiepolo (see 1983 exh. cat., figs 20919).
