About This Item
New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1989. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Second printing. "During the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, Venetians lined their government council chambers and religious fraternities with narrative paintings of pageantry, diplomacy and pious legend. These works - which include Carpaccio's pictorial stories about St. Ursula, St. George and St. Jerome, as well as Bellini's panoramic recordings of the urban scene - have often been discussed, but in isolation from their social context and from each other. This richly illustrated book is the first to examine them all together, as representatives of a single genre of painting that was stylistically peculiar to Venice and uniquely expressive of the social, cultural and aesthetic values of Venetian Renaissance society." Quarto: [vi], 310 p. with numerous illustrations (most color). Original blue cloth binding, with gilt titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
