  1. 1. Art Of Renaissance Venice, 1400–1600

    A compact survey that traces Venetian art across the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, placing painting, sculpture and architecture in the city’s distinctive political, religious and commercial context. It follows major workshops and artists and explains how Venetian practice—marked by a priority on color, light, and pictorial space—evolved from Gothic and Byzantine inheritance into the lyric narrative cycles and dramatic late-Renaissance canvases for which the city is famous. The book also treats patronage, civic ritual, workshop techniques, print culture and collecting to show how social, economic and devotional life shaped Venetian visual production and its lasting impact on Renaissance art.
