Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Venetian Palaces and Old Venetian Folk If there is one experience more delightful than a first visit to Venice, it is a second; the urgent pre-occupation of the nuovo peregrin to pretermit nothing of importance amid the wealth of beauty and historic interest offered to his gaze, gives place to a calmer enjoyment; objects fall into their due perspective; ideal preconceptions are corrected, and the sojourner may turn to the study and appreciation of some particular phase of the manifold attractions of the city: to such returning lovers the ensuing pages are directed. This slight and necessarily imperfect sketch of the palaces of Venice has grown from a pilgrimage made about the mazy streets and intricate canals of the city for the purpose of identifying, and precisely indicating the position of the various remains of domestic architecture referred to and illustrated in the works of Ruskin, Street, and Fergusson; in those of "that blessed man called Cicognara," and his colleagues Diedo and Selva; in the admirable volumes of the later and no less important authority, Prof. Pietro Paoletti, and other writers on the subject. The chief existing examples of old palatial architecture are described, so far as possible, in the order of their erection, and grouped into the three main divisions - Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance - of their style.

Download or read book An Artist in Venice written by Adam Van Doren and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The city of Venice has always provided an almost irresistible lure for both writers and artists. Henry James loved it, as did Ruskin, Browning, Pound, and Brodsky. For artists, it has been a compulsory magnet since the time of Bellini and Canaletto. By the nineteenth century there was hardly an artist of note -- Whistler and Turner, Sargent and Prendergast, Sickert and Bonington -- who was not seduced by the city's charms, history, and aesthetic heritage. For the depiction of Venice by artists, it's a high bar that s been set, but Adam Van Doren, grandson of the Pulitzer-prize-winning poet Mark Van Doren, convincingly confronts the competition in this charming memoir, a verbal and visual account of his love affair with the city. His story is personal; like all other artists, he sees the city with and through his own eyes, but he is also well-informed historically. He laces his tour with information, opinion, and citation. With Van Doren as guide, the reader's tour of the city is rich and convincing, filled with the presence of illustrious predecessors. With an informed preface by the scholar Theodore Rabb and a charming foreword by Simon Winchester, with 21 full-color drawings by the author/artist, and even six pages of commendably lucid "Notes" on the personalities and structures discussed, this is a book that will proudly take its place alongside the many others that have celebrated this city for centuries."--Publisher description.
