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。
