ABOUT THE 18TH CENTURY
VENICE
SERIES: Venetian
art during this period is very seductive in the categories of
expansive style, gem like or pastel colors, broad execution and
mythological and secular, even genresque, themes. Specifically,
the expansive wall and ceiling fresco style of Giambattista
Tiepolo in both churches and grand Venetian & Austrian
palaces; the limpid city and poetic landscape views of Canaletto
(Giovanni Antonio Canal), and Francesco
Guardi who had the added advantage of preparing the way for French
Impressionism; the soft, delicate pastel Venetian portraits of Rosalba
Carriera, the prints of Venice and Rome which mirrored a new
concern with Roman antiquity and which was stimulated by the
Englishmen and many Europeans on ‘The Grand Tour’ by Giovanni
Battista Piranesi; all of this culminating with the enormous break
thoughts in NeoClassical form brought about by Anton
Mengs under the powerful historical influences of Johann
Joachim Winckelmann, whose life was tragically cut short
mysteriously.
ABOUT THE SERIES FORMAT:
The series will present
the works of the artists in chronological order and will include
information about their work, techniques, influences, style, and life
and their significance for the history of Baroque art country by
country. Further
information about characteristics of the period as well as a cast of
characters will be included. This
series will include the state of the research on this topic at this
time in history. The
current facts as known not how the facts were acquired will be the
focus. Works in local
public collections in
Southern
California
will be highlighted.
NOTE: This series is complete unto itself and not having been part of prior
series will not cause participants any disadvantages
