Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venetian Discourses, Drawn From the History, Art Customs of Venice Venice was the most stable, the most peace ful, the most prosperous, and the longest lived Republic the world has ever seen. Through many an age in the mid-sea she dwelt, From her retreat calmly contemplating The changes of the Earth, herself unchanged. A scene of light and glory, a dominion That has endured the longest among men. Such being the case, nothing, I think, could be more Opposed to reason and to probability than the notion, too commonly entertained, that she; owed her superlative greatness to a policy and to practices that savoured of piracy and pillage, of tyranny and injustice, of cruelty and oppression. And, from my own study of Venice and Venetian history, I am prepared to say that no notion could be more opposed to truth and to fact The more I know of the old Venetians, the more I feel called upon to admire not only their marvel lous energy and industry, their perseverance.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ALLIANCE WITH THE LOMBARD LEAGUE. 69 bards, during the next three years, the Venetians do not appear to have been sharers. The part which they had already taken in the siege of Ancona must be attributed far more to a petty mercantile jealousy, than to any cordial espousal of the interests of the Emperor; and as soon as he felt strong enough to re-enter Italy in warlike guise, they again adopted their wise and ancient policy, of discouraging, so far as in them lay, the establishment of so dangerous a Power in their own neighbourhood. For this purpose they became united to the Lombard League, though without active co-operation; for it was not till they had boldly asserted the cause of Alexander III., that they became involved in positive hostilities with Barbarossa. Neither the chronology nor indeed the very events of the period which we are approaching are without perplexity: but of the flight of Alexander to Venice, and of the occurrences to which it led, we shall speak as the Venetians themselves speak; for although these incidents have sometimes been disputed, they appear to rest upon little less sound authority than that adduced for most other facts of a date equally remote. By denying them, we should tear a bright page of glory from the History of Venice, and contradict a testimony to which the most willing, if not the most implicit, credence is usually yielded, ?the testimony afforded by numerous works of Art. The walls of that which once was the Palatial residence of the Doge still bear witness to the triumph of Ziani, the humiliation of Frederic, and the proud revenge of Alexander; and the most illustrious pencils of the 70 POPE ALEXANDER III. AT VENICE. great Venetian School of Painting have conspired to give immortality to deeds which we are reluctant to consid..

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea-Charm of Venice Altinum, Aquileia, and the other towns bor dering on the lagoon, the Roman nobles, many of whom might be called merchant princes, and their dependants fled to Tor cello, to Rialto, and to other islands where, before the conqueror came, they had estab lished depots for their trading, where the fishermen and boatmen were already in their pay. When the Goths followed the invading track of Attila, the emigration of the Roman inhabitants of the mainland to the lagoon continued year after year; and out of this emigrant flight grew Venice, the Queen of the Sea.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Winged Lion, or Stories of Venice After spending a few weeks in Florence, Uncle Moses and his young friends began to discuss the important question of their next movements; and here a difficulty arose which led to many odd adventures. As for Uncle Moses, that worthy man would gladly have left Italy altogether, and gone on as fast as possible to his destination; but the very hint of such a thing roused so great a storm of opposition and reproach that he did not press it further. Leave Italy, indeed! That was not to be thought of. They had many places still to visit, and many adventures still to encounter.

Download or read book The Venice Variations written by Sophia Psarra and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the myth of Arcadia through to the twenty-first century, ideas about sustainability – how we imagine better urban environments – remain persistently relevant, and raise recurring questions. How do cities evolve as complex spaces nurturing both urban creativity and the fortuitous art of discovery, and by which mechanisms do they foster imagination and innovation? While past utopias were conceived in terms of an ideal geometry, contemporary exemplary models of urban design seek technological solutions of optimal organisation. The Venice Variations explores Venice as a prototypical city that may hold unique answers to the ancient narrative of utopia. Venice was not the result of a preconceived ideal but the pragmatic outcome of social and economic networks of communication. Its urban creativity, though, came to represent the quintessential combination of place and institutions of its time. Through a discussion of Venice and two other works owing their inspiration to this city – Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities and Le Corbusier’s Venice Hospital – Sophia Psarra describes Venice as a system that starts to resemble a highly probabilistic ‘algorithm’, that is, a structure with a small number of rules capable of producing a large number of variations. The rapidly escalating processes of urban development around our big cities share many of the motivations for survival, shelter and trade that brought Venice into existence. Rather than seeing these places as problems to be solved, we need to understand how urban complexity can evolve, as happened from its unprepossessing origins in the marshes of the Venetian lagoon to the ‘model city’ that endured a thousand years. This book frees Venice from stereotypical representations, revealing its generative capacity to inform potential other ‘Venices’ for the future.

Download or read book Venice and Drawing, C. 1500-1800 written by Catherine Whistler and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An impressive overview of drawing in Venice, from the time of Titian and Tintoretto to that of Canaletto and Tiepolo From the time of Titian and Tintoretto to that of Canaletto and Tiepolo, drawing was an important part of artistic practice and was highly valued in Venice. This exciting new study overturns traditional views on the significance of drawing in Venice, as an art and an act, from the Renaissance to the age of the Grand Tour. Gathering together the separate strands of theory, artistic practice, and collecting, Catherine Whistler highlights the interactions and tensions between a developing literary discourse and the practices of making and collecting graphic art. Her analysis challenges the conventional definition of Venetian art purely in terms of color, demonstrating that 16th-century Venetian artists and writers had a highly developed sense of the role and importance of disegno and drawing in art. The book's generous illustrations support these striking arguments, as well as conveying the great variety, interest, and beauty of the drawings themselves.
