About the book >.>.> For the third exhibition at the Walpole Gallery, a curated anthology of Venetian Baroque and Rococo painting has been assembled, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the eighteenth century while also including a select group of works from the seventeenth century. These earlier pieces serve to highlight the artistic tendencies that would gain further prominence in the subsequent century. This exhibition has been in planning since the gallery's inauguration, allowing ample time for the careful selection and research of the featured artworks.The focus on Venetian art is particularly fitting for the Walpole Gallery, which is dedicated to Italian art, as Venetian culture significantly influenced English taste and thought during the eighteenth century. The exhibition is enhanced through the inclusion of notable loans, such as the celebrated pastel of Horace Walpole by Rosalba Carriera, graciously lent by Lord and Lady Walpole. Additionally, two paintings from the Castle Howard collection are included through the generosity of Mr and Mrs Simon Howard. The success of this venture has been facilitated by the support of various art historians and patrons, including Dr. Prisco Bagni, Dr. Edi Baccheschi, Dr. Francesca Boris, Prof. Rosanna Bossaglia, Prof. Giuliano Briganti, Viscount Coke, Mr Lance Entwhistle, Mr Christopher Gatiss, and Dr. Lilli Ghio.This anthology not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also provides valuable insights into the stylistic developments prevalent in Venetian Baroque and Rococo paintings, contributing to a deeper understanding of this influential period in art history.…
