Description:... "In this volume, the evolution of the Venetian Renaissance in painting is traced back from Belini's subtle tonal gradations and Giorgione's chromatic poetry, through Titian's sensuous opulence and intense realism, to Tintoretto's dynamic light and visionary fantasy, and to the final glory of Veronese's joyous iridescence. The introductory essay provides an overview of the period and the artists who populated it, while short biographies and the commentaries on each color plate offer the reader an insight into the specific artistic personalities and forces that shaped each oeuvre."--Book jacket.
