Marion Kaminski Ordre des livres (chronologique)

This compact tome delivers a brief but comprehensive "tour" of Venice through its photographs and descriptions. Though small in size, it offers a huge amount of information on art and architecture, as the title implies, but also on history and some of the traditions. Separate articles are dedicated to specific people and events, such as Antonio Vivaldi, the Jewish Ghetto and the Carnivale, among others.

Book by Kaminski, Marion

Titian (1490-1576) was one of the most versatile of Italian painters, equally adept with portraits, landscape backgrounds, and mythological and religious subjects. His painting methods, particularly in the application and use of color, would exercise a profound influence not only on painters of the Italian Renaissance, but on future generations of Western art. During the course of his long life, Titian's artistic manner changed drastically but he retained a lifelong interest in color. Although his mature works may not contain the vivid, luminous tints of his early pieces, their loose brushwork and subtlety of tone are without precedent in the history of Western art.In this volume, numerous large-sized illustrations showcase the artist s oeuvre; authoritative texts illustrate the decisive stages in the artist s life and in the development of his work, explaining their significance in the context of his time and for the following generations of artists."
