题目分析：
略
选项分析：
A选项：首先，at least表示“至少”，two decades or more表示“二十年或更多”，这两者在语意上是赘余的（二十年或更多表示的就是至少二十年）。其次，由于状语 for at least two decades or more previous to when the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo died in 1770用了过去时，且主句的发生时间肯定在该从句之前，所以主句应用过去完成时。
B选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项：动词die是点动词（所谓点动词，就是那些开始即完成的词），由于点动词根本就没有持续的时间，所以开始就意味着到达了终点，自然不可能用ing的形式。（参考名词和ing的区别）
D选项：主句时态错误同选项(A)。
E选项：本选项没有主句。When the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo died in 1770是状语从句，having been for at least two decades before that the most admired painter in Italy是伴随状语。
1.动词，根据前半句可以得知，在他死之前，他已经是最有名的画家了，所以要用过去完成时，had been，ADE错
2.句子结构，E没有主句，E错
3.简洁，at least two decades or more previous to表达错误，不简洁，AC错
4.动词，die是一个瞬间动词，这里不应该用dying，有专有名词death，C错
