Small Exhibition at the V&A: Venetian Visions

Posted in exhibitions by Editor on October 24, 2011

From the V&A:

Venetian Visions: The Art of Canaletto, Tiepolo, Carlevarijs, and Their Contemporaries, 1700–1800
Victoria & Albert Museum, London, 7 October 2011 — 1 April 2012

Giambattista Tiepolo, "Apollo and Marsyas,"ca. 1725 (V&A)

The eighteenth century was possibly the last great period of Venetian art. It witnessed a wealth in artistic production from paintings, drawings and prints to porcelain, lace and glass. This display will draw from the V&A collections of prints, drawings, textiles, ceramics and glass to showcase Venetian arts during this age of stylistic splendour.
