Description: Rovigo: Associazione Culturale Minelliana, 2014. 30cm., hardcover, 352pp., 60 color, 446 b&w plates. Italian text. Summary: From Francesco Aviani (Vicenza, 1662/63-1715) to Giuseppe Bernardino Bison (Palmanova,1762-Milano, 1844), the book explains for the first time the genesis and development of Veneto landscape painting, which follows the critical definition of its performers in the golden age of Serenissima. It offers a comprehensive biographical sketch of 23 personality, in addition to a rich compendium of artworks, largely unpublished, to illustrate the way to each individual painter and the unfolding of his artistic biografy. In addition to well-known names, like Francesco Zuccarelli (of which the author has published a monograph in 2007), Marco Ricci, Giuseppe Zais, emerge from oblivion unpublished figures (the Pensionante Zaisiano), almost entirely unknown to the history of art ( Flaminio Grapinelli, Francesco Maggiotto) or known in other areas (Antonio Visentini) or neglected because of geographical membership (Domenico Pecchio, Tomaso Porta). To each master is dedicated an individual chapter with a corpus of his most rapresentative paintings, included in a fascinating fresco of contemporary society, with particular attention to market mechanisms and physiological specificity. It realizes a complex mosaic of dialogues, echoes, more o less obvious suggestions between cultures and reference models in an environment that is often very far from the limelight : sometimes ruthless, sometimes boccaccesque, as some curious anecdotes about examined painters.
