Completely updated, this edition of Deborah Howard's volume (first published in 1980) is filled with illustrations, most of them new and reproduced in colour. Howard invites those who visit Venice in person, armchair travellers, and all students of Venetian art and architecture to look more closely at the unique architecture of one of the world's most beautiful cities. Believed to have been founded by refugees at the fall of the Roman Empire, Venice became a semi-independent outpost of Byzantium and eventually an independent Republic. The city flourished for centuries as a trading centre between east and west, and its visual traditions were continually enriched by exposure to outside influences. When the long-lasting Republic fell to Napoleon in 1797, many attempts at modernisation followed, especially under 19th-century Austrian administration. Howard traces the entire evolution of Venice's architecture, placing special emphasis on the political, social and economic framework that supported it. She highlights the achievements of individual architects from the Renaissance onwards, including Sansovino, Palladio, Longhena, Massari, Selva and others. Throughout the book, the author stresses the visual qualities of the buildings themselves, seeking to enhance our appreciation of individual structures built in Venice and providing a view of the city that inspired their creation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50131959283985,"sku":"GOR005669361","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50977563377937,"sku":"GOR009458348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300090285.jpg?v=1751447550"},{"product_id":"in-the-house-of-the-muses-book-laura-moretti-9781912554447","title":"In the House of the Muses","description":"This book reconstructs a cross-section of the activities that took place in the rooms of the Veronese palace of Mario Bevilacqua, with the aim of shedding light on the life, relationships and aspirations of a preeminent figure in the world of collecting and Italian artistic patronage in the final quarter of the sixteenth century. Mario Bevilacqua was one of the greatest collectors of the second half of the sixteenth century in the territories of the Republic of Venice. He was a true lover of literature and the arts, expressing a deep appreciation for music and an instinctive attraction to antiquities. In the family palace on today's Corso Cavour in Verona renovated in the mid-sixteenth century by the architect Michele Sanmicheli, Bevilacqua set up what early sources describe as a museum open to the public. Here it was possible to admire paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, coins and medals, manuscripts, printed books and musical instruments - all objects collected over the course of approximately twenty-five years, to which Mario dedicated much of his time and resources. The library, also referred to as studio, was considered one of the richest in the city, while the galleria contained masterpieces such as Tintoretto's Paradise now at the Louvre, as well as antique statues and busts of Roman emperors. The famous ridotto, in which salaried musicians and singers performed regularly, was frequented by citizens and foreigners and enjoyed international renown.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52673647771921,"sku":"NLS9781912554447","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781912554447.jpg?v=1762297589"},{"product_id":"who-is-elizabeth-bennet-s-soulmate-a-pride-and-prejudice-variation-book-laura-moretti-9798309330140","title":"Who Is Elizabeth Bennet's Soulmate? : A Pride and Prejudice Variation","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53391786311953,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53391786377489,"sku":"GOR014895900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798309330140.jpg?v=1775701006"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-laura-moretti.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
