Painting in Sixteenth-Century Venice by David Rosand

Painting in Sixteenth-Century Venice by David Rosand

Painting in Sixteenth-Century Venice, here published in a revised and updated edition, explores the visual tradition of one of the most important centres of the Italian Renaissance through a study of three masters - Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto. These painters dominated and shaped the traditions of Venetian painting in the High and Late Renaissance. Establishing the conditions of painting in Renaissance Venice, including the social, economic and political situation of arts and artists and the aesthetic values that distinguish Venetian painting from that of Central Italy, David Rosand also explores the formal principles and technical procedures that determined the uniqueness of painting in Venice, above all the development of oil painting on canvas. He also analyses individual images, altarpieces and mural paintings within the several contexts of conventions and institutions - artistic, social, historical - of Renaissance Venice.

David Rosand is Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History at Columbia University. He is the author of several books, including The Meaning of the Mark: Leonardo and Titian; Painting in Sixteenth-Century Venice: Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto; Robert Motherwell on Paper: Drawings, Prints, Collages; Myths of Venice: The Figuration of a State; and Drawing Acts: Studies in Graphic Expression and Representation.
