Venice, renowned for its artistic legacy in the eighteenth century, is explored in this beautiful book that delves into the diverse range of arts from this vibrant period. It covers paintings, pastels, gouaches, drawings, watercolors, prints, illustrated books, and sculpture. The work opens with an introduction by Andrew Robison and a general overview of Venetian art by Michael Levey. Esteemed scholars contribute essays that discuss the international appeal of Venetian art and key aspects of the era's creativity. Following the essays, a detailed catalogue showcases many of the finest works, featuring biographies and critical insights into the artists. The selection highlights the beauty, quality, and distinctiveness of Venetian art, including significant altarpieces by Tiepolo and Piazzetta that underscore the importance of grand religious themes. The book also presents exemplary history paintings, allegories, landscapes, architectural fantasies, decorative works, and portraits. Notably, it includes a rich array of graphic art, as many renowned painters, such as Marco Ricci and Canaletto, engaged in printmaking and book illustration, often expressing greater creative freedom in these mediums.
