Value of Venetian Art.=--Among the Italian schools of painting the\u003cbr\u003eVenetian has, for the majority of art-loving people, the strongest and\u003cbr\u003emost enduring attraction. In the course of the present brief account of\u003cbr\u003ethe life of that school we shall perhaps discover some of the causes of\u003cbr\u003eour peculiar delight and interest in the Venetian painters, as we come\u003cbr\u003eto realise what tendencies of the human spirit their art embodied, and\u003cbr\u003eof what great consequence their example has been to the whole of\u003cbr\u003eEuropean painting for the last three centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Venetians as a school were from the first endowed with exquisite\u003cbr\u003etact in their use of colour. Seldom cold and rarely too warm, their\u003cbr\u003ecolouring never seems an afterthought, as in many of the Florentine\u003cbr\u003epainters, nor is it always suggesting paint, as in some of the Veronese\u003cbr\u003emasters. When the eye has grown accustomed to make allowance for the\u003cbr\u003edarkening caused by time, for the dirt that lies in layers on so many\u003cbr\u003epictures, and for unsuccessful attempts at restoration, the better\u003cbr\u003eVenetian paintings present such harmony of intention and execution as\u003cbr\u003edistinguishes the highest achievements of genuine poets. Their mastery\u003cbr\u003eover colour is the first thing that attracts most people to the painters\u003cbr\u003eof Venice. Their colouring not only gives direct pleasure to the eye,\u003cbr\u003ebut acts like music upon the moods, stimulating thought and memory in\u003cbr\u003emuch the same way as a work by a great composer.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180441878768,"sku":"2940015593440","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015593440","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
