‘It must surely rank as a significant contribution to Venetian Renaissance studies and, for anyone having an interest in that field, it is surely a "must-buy" well worth the cost’ – The Art Newspaper

The size and scope of this volume are unsurpassed, making it the most valuable illumination of Renaissance Venice.

Over 700 wonderful reproductions capture the achievements of such artists as Cranach, Dürer, Titian and Bellini. Essays by an international panel of experts analyse the cultural and artistic crosscurrents between Renaissance artists, musicians and intellectuals in Venice and Northern Europe, revealing how both areas' distinctive styles had a lasting effect on each other while maintaining their own character. This vital dialogue produced an abundance of brilliant, forward-looking art.

The volume was produced to coincide with an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 1999 and makes the most recent scholarship accessible to a wide audience.
