Golden Age Venetian Painting

Catalog description

The art of Venice and its surroundings, Emilia and Lombardy. Covers the Bellini and Vivarini artistic families, Giorgione, Titian, and Sebastiano del Piombo; the itinerant careers of Carlo Crivelli and Lorenzo Lotto; and the origins and implications of Correggio's and his student Parmigianino's daring experiments. Examines the significance of the mature Titian for his contemporaries Veronese, Tintoretto, and Bassano. In the 18th century, Tiepolo brings Venice's golden age to a close.
