This volume catalogues paintings made by artists active in Venice between 1540 and 1600, and includes some of the most important Italian paintings in the National Gallery Collection. For example, Titian's Vendramin Family venerating a Relic of the True Cross and The Death of Actaeon; Veronese's Family of Darius and his four Allegories and Tintoretto's Origin of the Milky Way. All the major types of painting produced in the city are discussed here: the altarpiece, the confraternity chapel decoration, the ceiling painting, paintings from the portego (the long central hall of a palace), the portrait and furniture painting. There are also new discoveries, such as Veronese's The Rape of Europa, long considered a copy, whose quality is revealed by recent cleaning. The great Bassano family, who worked outside Venice but often in the service of the city and its art market, is also well represented. Veronese may be the artist whose entire range is best displayed, with paintings of all sizes and types from his youth to maturity. But the influence of Titian pervades the entire period covered in this catalogue, and for that reason his works after 1540 are included here; his earlier paintings will appear in another volume. Entries are punctuated by headings designed to help readers select the topics that interest them: the materials, technique and condition of the work; pictorial and literary sources; related works and commentaries; owners, patrons and critics; framing and display. The author's revealing accounts of how these pictures first entered the National Gallery represent key episodes in the history of European taste, and an important contribution to the history of the Gallery itself.
