Think like an artist: in 16th century Venice

In this one-day course we look at the art of Venice in the 16th century. We look at the legacy of Giovanni Bellini, his students Giorgione and Titian; and the generation of artists that took over from them, in particular Tintoretto and Veronese.
We consider how the politics and architecture of Venice impacted the commissions that artists produced, looking at works commissioned by the Venetian ‘scuole’, leading families and the Church. We look at the impact of the Venetian printing and fabric trades on design and consider how Venice's trading empire gave artists access to materials that were harder to source elsewhere.
