Venice is largely regarded as the city of painting. Closely intertwinen with this, significant masterpieces in the art of drawing and graphic prints were created from the 15th century up to the end of La Serenissima, in 1797. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition of the same name is dedicated exclusively to such works. In the laboratory of ideas of trailblazing Venetian artists, drawings lead from Bellini to Lorenzo Lotto, Tintoretto, and Veronese, and to Guardi and Fontebasso. Titian drew enthralling compositions for woodcuts and copperplate engravings, and Tiepolo’s oeuvre culminates in enigmatic etchings of gripping profundity. Etched works by Marieschi and Canaletto shape our poetic notions of the atmosphere and living conditions particular to this incomparable city in mezzo al mare.
