An authoritative and comprehensive celebration of the life and work
of one of the most prominent artists of the Venetian Renaissance
Meticulously researched and luxuriously illustrated, this volume
offers a comprehensive view of Vittore Carpaccio (c.
1460/1466–1525/1526), whose work has been admired for centuries
for its fantastical settings enriched with contemporary incident
and detail. Capturing the sanctity and splendor of Venice at the
turn of the sixteenth century, when the city controlled a vast
maritime empire, Carpaccio combined careful observation of the
urban environment with a taste for the poetic in his beloved
narrative cycles and altarpieces. Providing a new lens through
which to understand Carpaccio’s work, a team of distinguished
scholars explores various aspects of his art, including his
achievement as a draftsman. In addition to emphasizing the
artist’s innovative techniques and contributions to the
development of Venetian Renaissance painting, this study includes
an in-depth consideration of the fluctuations in the reception of
Carpaccio’s work in the five hundred years since the artist’s
death. Published in association with the National Gallery of Art,
