The Glory of Venice: Art in the Eighteenth Century explores the rich and varied artistic output of Venice in the 1700s, encompassing paintings, pastels, drawings, watercolours, sculptures, decorative arts, and furniture. The book pairs essays with high-quality visual reproductions to examine not only individual works but also broader cultural and socio-political currents that shaped Venetian art. Through its pages, the reader gains insight into how Venice, once a preeminent cultural hub, expressed its identity and prestige during a period of transition and artistic innovation.
