Presented by Lisa Boutin Vitela, Renaissance Scholar
This series explores Venice’s improbable rise from the lagoon and tracks Venetian art from late antiquity through today.
FEBRUARY 1 | Introducing Venice: A Mythical and Historical City

Venice’s improbable rise from the lagoon began with the development of key civic spaces that centered around the Rialto, St. Mark’s Square, and the Grand Canal. These spaces established the city’s cultural and economic ambitions and present artistic features linking it to the glittering gold icons and mosaics of Byzantium and the carved stone of Greco Roman antiquity.

FEBRUARY 22* | Late Renaissance in Venice: Looking Back to Look Forward (*begins at 11:15 AM)
