"Venice has always prided itself on its glamorous and exclusive style, and the term 'Venetian' has been associated with beauty and opulence for centuries. The quality of the Venetian syle has softened the divide that traditionally separated arts from crafts. In the city on the lagoon, where famous painters such as Titian, Tintoretto, Guardi and Tiepolo made Venetian scenes famous throughout the world, other, lesser known but equalliy important workshops contributed to the excellence of Venetian arts and crafts. With their creativity and excellent taste, master craftsmen gave shape to a variety of materials. Stone, wood, iron, bronze, gold, silver, glass, ceramic, stucco, cloth, and leather turn into masterpieces of unique beauty and perfection in the hands of expert Venetian artisans. This book, subdivided in four sections corresponding to the art materials -- the solid arts, the malleable sarts, the fragile arts and the soft arts--provides a showcase of magnificent objects, most never seen before, many of which are housed in the aristocratic palaces of Venice. Doretta Davanzo Poli, an expert in what has been called, inappropriately as this book will prove, the 'minor arts', proposes for each chapter a chronological reading of the artisan guilds whose artistic production, adapting to the changing times and fashions, is documented in over two hundred illustrations. The extraordinary photography by Mark E. Smith, whose sensitivity to detail and familiarity with Venetian life captures the essence of objects and decorations, emphasizes the material itself and its transformation into objects d'art and artistic maseterpieces. Where should one look to appreciate the splendor of Venetian decoration? In the lightness of marble panels, the varied chromatic quality of the floors, the sumptuousness of the ceilings -- sculptured and gilded? Or in the virtuosity of the wooden inlays, the unique forging of the grillwork, the transparencies of glass and the masterful stucco decorations? Here, and in many other examples of outstanding craftsmanship presented in this book, the reader will find the elegance that raises Venetian ornamentation to the status of true art"--Publisher's description, p.

Download and read online ebook The Art of Renaissance Venice write by Norbert Huse. This book was released on 1993-10-30. The Art of Renaissance Venice available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Norbert Huse and Wolfgang Wolters provide the first contemporary single-volume survey of the three arts of Venice -- painting, sculpture, and architecture. They offer an important counterbalance to the traditional orientation toward painting as the city's preeminent art by focusing on architecture as the essential Venetian artistic medium. In the process, they define the distinctly Venetian terms by which the city and culture should be understood. Huse and Wolters begin their study with 1460, when Venice was one of the key powers of Italy, and end their discussion with the death of Tintoretto in 1594, a period of waning international power. Wolfgang Wolters outlines the city's development and present a typological survey of Venetian architecture. A review of sculptors and their works follows. Norbert Huse opens the next section, on painting, by describing the changed situation of painters at the end of the fifteenth century. He explores the different forms and functions of Venetian paintings in three distinct periods. With over three hundred illustrations and an exhaustive bibliography, this volume successfully fills a gap in art historical scholarship. -- From publisher's description.
