Venice, renowned for its artistic legacy in the eighteenth century, is explored in this beautiful book that delves into the diverse range of arts from this vibrant period. It covers paintings, pastels, gouaches, drawings, watercolors, prints, illustrated books, and sculpture. The work opens with an introduction by Andrew Robison and a general overview of Venetian art by Michael Levey. Esteemed scholars contribute essays that discuss the international appeal of Venetian art and key aspects of the era's creativity. Following the essays, a detailed catalogue showcases many of the finest works, featuring biographies and critical insights into the artists.

The book also presents exemplary history paintings, allegories, landscapes, architectural fantasies, decorative works, and portraits. Notably, it includes a rich array of graphic art, as many renowned painters, such as Marco Ricci and Canaletto, engaged in printmaking and book illustration, often expressing greater creative freedom in these mediums.

The Genius of Venice (1500-1600) is an ambitious exhibition – a scholarly and magnificent survey of Venetian painting and its sister sculpture, drawing and print-marking, at the time of their greatest and most profoundly influential achievements during the sixteenth century. If for many people Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese are amongst the greatest of all painters, it is in part due to the genius of the city in which they lived and worked. Venice was the centre of a great commercial empire situated between East and West, possessing a model constitution to which other states looked with envy and admiration. Its unique, extravagant beauty stimulated artists to adopt and entirely original approach to painting.
