Description

From Canaletto to Tiepolo, 18th-century Venetian painters created brilliant works of art that are now considered to be the last flowering of the long Venetian tradition of painting. This book provides an introduction to 18th-century Venetian painting, discussing the various types of painting - portraiture, genre, landscape, history paintings, and religious works - as well as the society, patronage, and intellectual climate of Venice at this time.
