"From Canaletto to Tiepolo, eighteenth-century Venetian painters created brilliant works of art that are now considered to be the last flowering of the long Venetian tradition of painting. This beautiful book provides an introduction to eighteenth-century Venetian painting, discussing the various types of painting - portraiture, genre, landscape, history paintings and religious works - as well as the society, patronage and intellectual climate of Venice at this time."
