About this book

Berenson argues that Venetian painting is the fullest expression in art of the Italian Renaissance, and this essay sets out why. The third edition carries lists of works by the principal Venetian painters and an index of places, now reaching pictures held in provincial galleries and private collections in Britain, France and Germany. He notes that, with a few exceptions, he names only pictures he has seen himself. The frontispiece shows Giorgione's Shepherd with Pipe, from Hampton Court.
