Important portraits and landscape representations of Venetian art techniques during the Renaissance.
In Venice during the Renaissance, master artists like Bellini, Giorgione, Palma Vecchio, and Titian explored the essence of mankind and nature and their relationship to each other with unprecedented intensity. They created sophisticated portraits, seductive idealized likenesses, and history paintings whose principal character is the atmospheric landscape. The painting of the city on the lagoon captivates us not only through the wealth of colors and the nuances of the light but also through the exceptional sensitivity with which the artists focused on their works. Venezia 500 is an attractive volume that shows the pioneering innovations of Venetian painting, which continued to leave their mark right up to the modern age. It examines the masterpieces of Venetian Renaissance art in depth with regard to their remarkable innovative strength, the context in which they were produced, and contemporary interpretations.Author Biography
