Venice: Art & Architecture. (vol. I.-II.)

More about the book

The entire span of Venetian art - in architechture, sculpture, and painting - from the 13th through the 18th centuries is systematically explained by renowned art historians. If you approach Venice by way of the lagoon, the city appears to be as homogenous as a single building. But as soon as you step into its shadowy alleys, you will be captivated by the palazzi, churches, and private palaces where the eye is drawn to the dazzling sylistic variety of Moorish window arches adjacent to balconies in Venetian Gothic and severe Renaissance facades.
