The Most Triumphant City
So let us bow before her.... Heaven has been so generous to her in its gifts that she outshines in her nobility, magnificence, riches, palaces, churches, pious foundations, virtues, councils, empire, fame and glory, any* other city that ever was.
(PIETRO ARETINO , poet and friend of the painter
Titian)
Paul Vaughan explores the glories of 16th-century Venetian art at the Genius of Venice Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. He also journeys to that most triumphant city in the sea which, in its golden age, gave inspiration and livelihood to some of the greatest Renaissance painters, sculptors, musicians and poets.
