  Venetian School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Venetian polychoral compositions of the late 16th century were among the most famous musical events in Europe, and their influence on musical practice in other countries was enormous.
The innovations introduced by the Venetian school, along with the contemporary development of monody and opera in Florence, together define the end of the musical Renaissance and the beginning of the musical Baroque.
The peak of development of the Venetian School was in the 1580s, when Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli composed enormous works for multiple choirs, groups of brass and string instruments, and organ.

 Venice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venice (Italian: Venezia, Venetian: Venexia,Venessia), nicknamed the "city of canals" and La Serenissima, is the capital of the region of Veneto and of the province of Venice in Italy.
The Venetian Republic was a major sea power and a staging area for the Crusades, as well as a very important centre of commerce (especially the spice trade) and art in the Renaissance.
In the 12th century the essentials for the power of Venice were laid: the Venetian Arsenal was under construction in 1104; Venice wrested control of the Brenner pass from Verona in 1178, opening a lifeline to silver from Germany; the last autocratic doge, Vitale Michiele, died in 1172.

For Reynolds, the painters of the Venetian school are in an inferior class.

 The Good Shepherd Institute: Pastoral Theology and Sacred Music for the Church
Between this school, which had the most important share in building up a Protestant repertory of organ compositions, and the second phase, which we shall presently take into consideration, the original sources are none too numerous; and it is to be assumed that much has been lost or relatively little has actually been written down.
Hence, the significance of the Venetian School is to be found in the new repertory of organ music, in its style, in the concept of structure, and in the maintenance of liturgical purposes from which to derive the form of composition.
The chief representatives of the Venetian School were Jacques Buus, Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Merulo, Annibale Padovano, Vincenzo Bell’Haver, Sper’in Dio Bertoldo, Diruta, Luzzasco Luzzaschi, the teacher of Frescobaldi, Gioseffo Guami, and Paolo Quagliati who—like Luzzaschi—belongs for reasons of style to the group.

 Academy - Venice
The school of Florence, the school of Siena early produced each a great master who not only decided the future of painting in both those cities, but in a very real sense summed up in his own achievement what that future was to be.
When we speak of the Venetian school, then, we mean, in a very precise way, the school of Venice the painters which Venice produced or, at least, made essentially her own, all of whom were born within her dominion.
That this great school was, in fact, to be a national school does not become evident till it was firmly established in the fifteenth century by the Bellini.

 The School of Giorgoine
The Venetian landscape, on the other hand, has in its material conditions much which is hard, or harshly definite; but the masters of the Venetian school have shown themselves little burdened by them.
It is the school of genre, and employs itself mainly with "painted idylls," but, in the production of this pictorial poetry, exercises a wonderful tact in the selecting of such matter as lends itself most readily and entirely to pictorial form, to complete expression by drawing and colour.
Such ideal instants the school of Giorgione selects, with its admirable tact, from that feverish, tumultuously coloured world of the old citizens of Venice -- exquisite pauses in time, in which, arrested thus, we seem to be spectators of all the fulness of existence, and which are like some consummate extract or quintessence of life.

 Venetian Paintings from the Collection of the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation
The Venetian paintings belonging to the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation are part of a larger collection of Renaissance and Baroque art that has been gathered in the last twenty years for the benefit of the people of Texas.
Vasari believed the Venetians were at a disadvantage because, coming from a medieval city, they were not surrounded by the glories of ancient Roman art and architecture (and indeed one can recognize that the Renaissance, insofar as it entails the "rebirth" of classical culture, is adoptive rather than native in Venice).
Rather, in Venetian art the arrangement of colors, their tonality, and the tactile quality of the paint itself were more a fundamental part of the image than an embellishment of a drawing.

 Art of The Berlin Galleries - Venetian Paintings Of The 15th Century
The Venetians were merchants, growing opulent in trade, and concerning themselves little with the higher ideals of culture and philosophy.
On a large square, in the background of which some Venetian buildings on the one side and on the other a queerly shaped mountain and a chapel are seen, are gathered various groups.
No wonder that the school of Giorgione numbers far more adherents than even the school of da Vinci, or the school of Raphael; not because of any direct teaching of the master, but because the " Giorgionesque " spirit was abroad, and the taste of the day required paintings like Giorgione's to satisfy it.

 Titian
Titian, therefore, was not in any sense a Venetian of the lagoons and Adriatic, but was native to a country, and a range of association, perception and observation, of a directly different kind.
The Venetian government, dissatisfied at Titian's neglect of the work for the ducal palace, ordered him in 1538 to refund the money which he had received for time unemployed; and Pordenone, his formidable rival of recent years, was installed in his place.
He carried to its acme that great colorist conception of the Venetian school of which the first masterpieces are due to the two Bellini, to Carpaccio, and, with more fully developed suavity of manner, to Giorgione.

 Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
Giovanni Battista (also Giambattista) Tiepolo was an Italian painter, the last great master of the Venetian school, and the preeminent muralist in the rococo style.
He was born in Venice as the son of a merchant, and studied with various Venetian painters but was most influenced by the 16th-century Venetian master Paolo Veronese.
It is true that he was apprenticed in the Venetian School during the Baroque Era that ended around 1730, but he was also greatly inspired by the Rococo and the much brighter colours that were one of the characteristics of Rococo.

 Venetian Painting and the Rise of Landscape
Venetian art owed much of its greatness to several unique factors: Venice's geopolitical location, its republican institutions, its character as a great and wealthy trading empire, and its inheritance from the older Byzantine civilization.
No other great school of painting is to such an extent the creation of one man. In the course of his long and productive career, he introduced new modes and orders into painting, capturing a new vision which captivated his students, Giorgione and Titian, and influenced painting throughout Europe.
The Venetian artists demonstrated that painting is peculiarly suited for rendering the appearances of things with a glow of light and richness of color that satisfies our inalienable human need for life and pleasure.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bellini
Interest in him arises mainly from the fact that he was the teacher of his sons who were the chief founders of the Venetian school of painting.
The surroundings of Venetian life and the realistic direction which Venetian art had taken gave the Venetian painters a keep perception of the charm of colour, so that even the short time during which Messina was with them sufficed to lead them into a new path.

His younger contemporary, the German painter Albrecht Durer, wrote of Bellini in 1506: "He is very old, and still he is the best painter of them all." Bellini died in Venice in 1516.

Venetian schools, like Flemish schools, owe 'much of their fame to colouring'.
In Discourse Four Reynolds suggests that 'Tintoret, Paul Veronese, and others of the Venetian school, seem to have painted with no other purpose than to be admired for their skill and expertness in the mechanism of painting, and to make a parade of that art, which...
Moreover, in Discourse Seven, 1776, Veronese and Tintoretto are inferior because of their 'entire inattention to what is justly thought the most essential part of our art, the expression of the passions'.

 Venetian Painting
Venetian painting grew out of Byzantine art, and its opulence and sensuousness clearly differentiate it from the more intellectual art of Florence.
In this lively history of the Venetian school, John Steer traces its development between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries.
From the Bellinis onwards, Venetian artists used light, space and, above all, color to dramatic effect, as seen in the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century works of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, and, in the eighteenth century, Canaletto, Tiepolo and Guardi.

 Venetian Glass: Exquisite link to Pilchuck School
Conversely, if the Murano masters had never come to Pilchuck to see the muscular, can-do young Americans at work, Venetian glass would still be in the doldrums.
Don't expect a comprehensive history of Venetian glass (made on Murano Island in the Venice Lagoon since 1291) but a highly selective survey assembled by a New York couple, Giorgio Spanu and Nancy Olnick.
Once the island opened itself up to architects and others who admired glass but did not know how to make it, the rigid, blue-collar technicians were jump-started into executing the many facets of modern design.
