Private walking tour in Venice for real Art Lovers

In the mid-1400s Venice was the most powerful city in Italy, made rich by nearly a thousand years of commerce, mostly oriental trade for spices and luxury goods from the East. For centuries Venice maintained its prestige and legendary splendor. Venetian artists grounded their art in the senses, they appealed to the eye and the spirit through brilliant colour, glowing light, and the beauties of nature. By the end of the XVth century Venetian painters had absorbed the Renaissance innovations of Florence and central Italy: they captured light and reflections in a unique way. This is what we will get to know through this colourful walking tour: the art of Giovanni Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese and the major Venetian artists who exerted great influence upon the subsequent development of Western painting. Their inheritance was perfectly absorbed by Tiepolo, during the XVIII century.
