Synopsis
Venice was a major center of art in the Renaissance: the city where the medium of oil on canvas became the norm. The achievements of the Bellini brothers, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese are a key part of this story. No other city has been depicted by so many great painters in such diverse styles and moods. Venetian views were a specialty of native artists such as Canaletto and Guardi, but the city has also been represented by outsiders: J. M. W. Turner, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent, Howard Hodgkin, and many more. Then there are those who came to look at and write about art. The reactions of Henry James, George Eliot, Richard Wagner, and others enrich this tale. Nor is the story over. Since the advent of the Venice Biennale in the 1890s, and the arrival of pioneering modern-art collector Peggy Guggenheim in the late 1940s, the city has become a shop window for the contemporary art of the whole world, and it remains the site of important artistic events. In this elegant volume, Gayford--who has visited Venice countless times since the 1970s, covered every Biennale since 1990, and even had portraits of himself exhibited there on several occasions--takes us on a visual journey through the past five centuries of the city known as "La Serenissima," the Most Serene. It is a unique and compelling portrait of Venice that will delight lovers of the city and lovers of its art., A visual journey through five centuries of the city known as "La Serenissima"--a unique and compelling story for both lovers of Venice and lovers of its art., A visual journey through five centuries of the city known for centuries as, "La Serenissima"--a unique and compelling story for both lovers of Venice and lovers of its art.

However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
