His painting style, which did not significantly evolve, was an extension of his father's, meant to blend seamlessly with it, and many of his earliest works are barely distinguishable from those of his father. Heir-apparent to the greatest artistic dynasty of 18th-century Venice, Giandomenico trained in the Tiepolo family workshop and spent much of his career executing projects designed by his father, Giambattista, and travelling with him to assist on vast decorative commissions in Wurzburg (1750-52) and Madrid (1762-70).
