The Venetian School of painting was developed during the Renaissance, featuring such celebrated painters as Bellini, Mantegna, Giorgione, and Titian. Emphasising Venice&#8217;s pervasive sunlight and glowing colour in their works, these painters influenced centuries of painters to come. The authors of <strong><em>The History of Venice in Painting<\/em><\/strong> explain how the Venetian School, in addition to other attractions like Carnival, attracted legions of tourists to Venice, making it an obligatory stop on the &#8216;Grand Tour&rsquo; that should complete any 18th-century gentleman&#8217;s cultural education. Visitors also came to Venice to paint the city&#8217;s famous light for themselves, most notably J.M.W. Turner and Claude Monet. Sun-soaked Venice, with light reflecting off the waters of its many canals, was indeed an Impressionist&#8217;s dream. This vibrantly illustrated text traces the history of the Republic of Venice through its artistic heritage, from medieval mosaics to 20th-century Futurist paintings. Including 350 full-colour images, as well as 4 breath-taking gatefolds, <strong><em>The History of Venice in Painting<\/em><\/strong> is a treasure-trove of art, history, and culture. Here such panoramas as religious processions and gondolas criss-crossing the Grand Canal are displayed in a size befitting the subject&#8217;s grandeur.
