Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and artistry of Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, a pivotal figure in the transition from the 17th-century Baroque to the 18th-century Venetian School of painting. It meticulously examines Piazzetta's unique style, characterized by dramatic chiaroscuro, robust figures, and a profound sense of spirituality often absent in his contemporaries. The author places Piazzetta within the broader context of Italian art history, exploring the influences of prominent masters like the Carracci, Caravaggio, and Guercino on his development. The analysis extends to Piazzetta's contemporaries, such as Crespi and Lys, shedding light on the artistic milieu of Venice during the Seicento and Settecento. This book delves into the thematic depth of Piazzetta's works, particularly his religious paintings, which are imbued with a sense of devotion and reverence. His mastery of light and shadow, coupled with his ability to capture the human form's vitality, is evident in masterpieces like 'The Ecstasy of St. Francis' and 'S. Domenico in Gloria.' Through meticulous analysis and engaging prose, this book illuminates the significance of Piazzetta's contributions to art history, solidifying his position as a crucial link between the Baroque era and the flourishing Venetian School of the 18th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282821845_0
