Jacopo Guarana

Jacopo Guarana (October 28, 1720 – April 18, 1808) was a Venetian painter of the late Baroque period who was born in Verona.

In 1750 he completed frescoes for the interior of Ca' Rezzonico and, in 1780, for the church of San Tomà.

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 Ospedaletto, Venice.

By the time he painted a Sacred heart of Jesus and Saints for the church of San Polo, his work would have been considered "retardataire", a glimpse of a lapsing past.
