Venice and Her Artists

Organisation: 
Third Age Trust
Description: 

The aims of this course:
To show the rise of the Venetian Republic and its eventual decline and collapse; the acquisition of her great wealth, then the loss of its source, matched by the artistic output of this unique city.
To concentrate on the artists who came to, or who were born and worked in, the city of Venice, following them from the beginning of the fifteenth to the end of the eighteenth centuries. To highlight the peak of this period, known as the Golden Age; the sixteenth century with three great artists.
To note changes in decorative fashion, too, which brought fame to some artists and some loss of livelihood to one in particular.
To record the chain of influences which link the artists, giving a coherence to the long, mainly uninterrupted, period of the Venetian School.

Please note that this course is NOT suitable for beginners in this subject.
