Paolo da Venzia dominated Venetian painting of the first half of the fourteenth century and has often been considered the founder of the Trecento school of painting in Venice. He created in his work a synthesis of Byzantine and Gothic elements which was of fundamental importance for the development of Venetian painting in the second half of the century.In this work Professor Muraro considers some of the complex art historical problems of Paolo s style and development and discusses the historical and artistic environment in which the master worked. The study includes a large critical catalogue of Paolo s works, notes on technique and iconography, and a chronological list of known documents.
