- Fig. 13.1. The Triumph of Pulcinella, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1754). “The Triumph of Pulcinella” is a series of paintings that deal with the carnival. In Tiepolo’s works the pulcinella often appears in several “cloned” versions that take part in mirth-provoking or slapstick scenes. Directly inspired by the political upheavals of his time, Tiepolo sees the pulcinella figure as spreading, copying itself into the many, forming a crowd.
