Venetian Colour Marble, Mosaic, Painting and Glass 1250-1550
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 12/01/1999
Exquisitely illustrated with over one hundred and fifty works of art and architecture, the book analyzes the colored marbles and mosaics in San Marco, examines the achievements of the Murano glass makers of the fifteenth century, and focuses attention on Giovanni Bellini's pictorial light and colour. Discussion of Renaissance dress and sumptuary regulations illuminates the social dimension of Venetian colour. The author shows, for example, how Titian's portraits responded to new fashions in velvets, satins, and semi-translucent veils. In the final chapter Hills questions the traditional opposition of Florentine line to Venetian colour, suggesting that Titian's bravura handling of the brushstroke was nurtured through his early experience of mosaics and woodcuts.
