During the 18th century, Venice lost its political grandeur, but it flourished as a cultural center, avant-garde and very active in the fields of art, design, music and theater, and was considered a popular tourist destination for European nobility. In this lecture we will learn about the great painters who worked in the city of canals, including Canaletto, who “photographed” the beauty of this unique city, Rosalba Carriera, who painted pastel portraits, and Tiepolo, who depicted spectacular allegorical scenes.

The series | In each of the three lectures included in the new series, we will focus on a painting style or an artistic movement that emerged in a particular geographic region during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. We will begin in 17th century Naples, and study artists who were inspired by the baroque artist Caravaggio; we will continue with the painters of the city of Venice, which was one of the main tourist destinations of the 18th century; and we will conclude our journey in Tuscany with a group of artists who worked during the dawn of modernism and in the spirit of the 19th century national awakening movement.
