The Italians
If  you can't get to Melbourne or Canberra this summer, you can still revel in this breathtaking collection of Italian art from 1500 to 1800. Renaissance works of the Cinquecento (16th century) include paintings by Caravaggio, Giorgone, and Titian, and drawings by DaVinci and Michelangelo. Explore masterpieces of the Mannerist, Baroque, and Rococco periods. Enjoy Canaletto's detailed 18th-century Venetian panoramas, from Piazza San Marco to the Bay of Venice. Take the Australian-accented audio tour to learn more about the artists and the social and historical circumstances that influenced their work. This site focuses on high-quality images, viewable in several image sizes, and searchable by a variety of parameters, such as region, subject, and spatial or tonal quality. (in Art History) |
