Venetian Views
註釋Venice is one of the most beloved cities in the world. The second most popular city in Italy, its romantic vistas have begged artists for centuries to capture its rich topography with paint and brush. In the eighteenth century, a group of artists answered that call with glorious results. Artists such as Canaletto, Luca Carlevaris, and Francesco Guardi, painted and sketched views of Venice which still delight the modern day viewer. V"enetian Views" is the first comprehensive consideration of this enchanting chapter of Venetian art.
This handsome volume, which includes over 200 color illustrations, includes not only the most well-known practitioners of this art form, but also those less well-known but equally accomplished, including Michele Marieschi, Giacomo Guardi, Bernardo Belloto, and Antonio Visentini. For the Italian art aficionado, this a required addition to any library. And for those uninitiated into the spectacular scenes these artists produced, "Venetian Views" is a gorgeous introduction.
