"Death Giving Audience" is a notable etching by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created circa 1750. This work is part of a series of etchings known as the "Varie Figure Gobbi," which translates to "Various Hunchbacked Figures." The series, which includes 21 etchings, showcases Tiepolo's fascination with the commedia dell'arte tradition and his interest in depicting characters from the fringes of society, such as hunchbacks, dwarfs, and other figures often relegated to the margins.

The etching, catalogued as de Vesme 10 and Rizzi 36, depicts a macabre scene where a skeletal figure of Death, seated on a throne, is granting an audience to a group of hunchbacked supplicants. The work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Tiepolo's etchings, which enhances the eerie and theatrical quality of the scene. The composition's dynamic lines and the expressive postures of the figures reflect Tiepolo's mastery in conveying movement and emotion.

"Death Giving Audience" is considered an important example of Tiepolo's graphic work and is often studied for its complex interplay of themes, including the transient nature of life, the inevitability of death, and the social commentary implicit in the depiction of marginalized individuals confronting their ultimate fate. The etching is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its ability to evoke a sense of both humor and profound contemplation.

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770) was a prominent Venetian painter and printmaker, renowned for his grand history paintings, frescoes, and his skill as a draftsman. His work in etching, though less extensive than his painting, is highly valued for its inventiveness and technical prowess. "Death Giving Audience" remains a significant work within Tiepolo's oeuvre, exemplifying his imaginative approach to subject matter and his deft handling of the etching medium.
