Book excerpt: From 5th September until 1st March 2020 the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, in conjunction with the City of Antwerp, VisitFlanders and the Flemish Community, presents 'From Titian to Rubens. Masterpieces from Antwerp and other Flemish Collections', an exhibition curated by Ben Van Beneden, director of Rubenshuis in Antwerp. The Doge's apartments will be transformed into veritable 'constkamers', rooms filled with exquisite art demonstrating the riches of Flemish collections. Featuring artists including Titian, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and Michiel Sweerts, the exhibition offers an array of works. Three icons of Venetian painting return to their hometown of Venice: Titian's Jacopo Pesaro presenting Saint Peter to Pope Alexander VI, the altarpiece of the former San Geminiano church, covered by the press worldwide as David Bowie's Tintoretto', and Titian's Portrait of a Lady and her Daughter (thought to be a depiction of Titian's mistress Milia and their daughter Emilia). A special section of the exhibition will be devoted to Flemish composer Adriaan Willaert who settled permanently in 'la Serenissima' to become Maestro di Cappella of the Basilica di San Marco in 1527. It was Willaert who founded the Venetian School of music that was to instruct, among others, Giovanni Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi.

Download or read book Venice 697 1797 written by Aluise Zorzi and published by Harry N. Abrams. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction recounts the reputation of the canaled cosmopolis through history: Venice as city of lovers and libertines (the fluid city gave birth to Cassanova), the best city in which to hide, a city of high culture, and a 16th-century haven for heretics and free thinkers. Specific history/legend begins with early settlement of the area as a result of the invasion of Attila, forcing Romans to find refuge among small fishing islands and narrow canals (Zorzi believes it wasn't just Attila, but a series of sieges and resulting settlements). The book is heavy with paintings and photos, and appendices include a very useful chronology, a list of Venice doges, and a glossary of names. Written to appeal to an educated but popular readership. Zorzi is chairman of the Committee for the Publication of Source Material on the History of Venice. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
