(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.
