Items related to The Image of Venice: Fialetti's View and Sir Henry...
In 1636, Sir Henry Wotton, former English ambassador to Venice, donated a huge birds-eye view of the island city to Eton College, where it hangs to this day. Published to celebrate the restoration of the painting, this book investigates the circumstances of its creation by Odoardo Fialetti in 1611, and its place amid other depictions of Venice. Superb photographic reproductions pick out the vignettes of Venetian life with which the artist peopled the citys squares.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Seit Jahrhunderten fasziniert Venedig Reisende aus aller Welt. Einem größeren Publikum lange Zeit beinahe unbekannt, entstand im Jahre 1611 eine monumentale Stadtansicht aus der Vogelperspektive, geschaffen vom Bologneser Künstler Odoardo Fialetti. Winzige Szenen städtischen Treibens beleben diese ungewöhnliche Vedute von acht Quadratmetern Größe. Im Jahre 1636 schenkte der ehemalige britische Botschafter in Venedig, Sir Henry Wotton, das Gemälde dem Eton College in London und über Jahrhunderte wurde es nur dort von Studenten und Professoren gesehen, bevor es immer stärker hinter Firnis verschwand. 2011/12 wurde es umfassend restauriert, und seitdem wird der Wert dieses einzigartigen Werkes mehr und mehr erkannt. Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich eingehend mit dem monumentalen Bild und seinem Künstler, der versuchte, in die Fußstapfen der kurz zuvor verstorbenen großen Meister der venezianischen Renaissance zu treten. Auch das Leben des leidenschaftlichen Sammlers und Diplomaten Sir Henry Wotton wird aus verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchtet.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The city of Venice holds a special place in the global imagination. This book explores the creation of one of its largest surviving depictions, which has remained almost unknown to the wider public since its creation exactly four centuries ago. Singed and dated 1611, the painting is the work of the notable early seventeenth-century Bolognese artist Odoardo Fialetti. His huge birds-eye view of the watery townscape is enlivened by tiny vignettes of Venetian life. Eight square meters in size, this remarkable painting is a tour-de-force among depictions of cities. In 1636 the painting was given to Eton College by the former British ambassador to Venice, Sir Henry Wotton. Over the centuries it was known only to pupils and masters at the school, its surface obscured by layers of grime. Restored in 2010-11, Fialetti's view has emerged as a striking work of real artistic merit. Its prominent position in the British Museum's Shakespeare exhibition in the summer of 2012 brought it to the attention of the general public for the very first time. This book takes a closer look at the remarkable picture and the context in which it was created. What kind of artist was Odoardo Fialetti, a Bolognese immigrant hoping to fill the shoes of the recently deceased great masters of the Venetian Renaissance? What image does it present of Venice? What sort of a figure was Henry Wotton, and informed connoisseur and a passionate playing the European politics, though not as diplomatic as perhaps he should have been? This is a relatively neglected period of both in Venetian art history and in British culture, the Jacobean prelude to the enthusiasm for Venetian art of Charles I's court. This beautiful commemorative volume is interdisciplinary in scope, involving history of art, political history, cartography, architectural history and English literature and bibliophilia, as well as a story of restoration and its techniques, drawn together by one of the most distinctive views ever inspired by the townscape of Venice. The city of Venice holds a special place in the global imagination. This book explores the creation of one of its largest surviving depictions, which has remained almost unknown to the wider public since its creation exactly four centuries ago.
