Book Reviews of Art and Life in Renaissance Venice (Reissue)
Book Review: Art as a political and social tool
Summary: 4 Stars
Patricia Brown's Art and Life in Renaissance Venice provides an interesting analysis of what made Venice artistically and politically different from the other Italian city-states. Brown argues that Venetian "otherness" made its art distinguishable from the art of other Renaissance states. Venice's political and social stability impacted the nature of both art and architecture. Venetian art reflected these and in so doing promoted traditional social and political attitudes.
The strength of Brown's work is the impressive artwork included in the text. The art is used quite convincingly by Brown to show how artists adapted to the demands of the Venetian public.
