Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, this catalogue traces the early contacts between Venice and Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands; the experience of foreign artists working in the Veneto; the tastes of collectors and patrons in both northern and Venetian art; developments in landscape, genre, and figure painting; and the activities of the giants of the Venice Renaissance (such as Titian and Bellini) and their northern counterparts (most notably Drer). The 24 essays offer the most recent scholarship on the crucial inspirational dialogue between Venetian and northern artists. Beautifully illustrated with about 700 color and b&w reproductions, the volume provides a lot for a reasonable price. Edited by Venetian art expert Bernard Aikema, and Beverly Louise Brown, who has taught at several major universities and served as curator at The National Gallery. Annotation c.
