Glory of Venice
North Carolina Museum of Art- Exhibitions, Raleigh, NC
Venice, the magical “floating city” in northeastern Italy, is a place unlike any other. Glory of Venice: Renaissance Paintings 1470–1520 is the South’s first exhibition surveying the development of Renaissance painting in Venice, a crucial period of fervid intellectual, commercial, and industrial activity widely regarded as one of the most exciting chapters in the history of Western art. Glory of Venice features approximately 50 lush paintings by Giovanni Bellini, Carpaccio, Titian, Giorgione, and others, including 20 rarely lent works from Venice’s Gallerie dell’Accademia.
