An exhibition of Venetian art from the late Baroque period, considered as the golden age, is on view at the new Bavarian State Painting Collections, Würzburg, through December 2, 2017.Paintings created by great Venetian artists, like Titian, Veronese, Palma Giovane and Bassani recall Venice's prestigious tradition as a centre of trade and the arts. Amigoni, Piazzetta, Pittoni and the two Tiepolos provide a setting for mythological and religious history scenes. In one of the sections in the gallery, their works proclaim the pan-European dominance of Venetian painting in the 18th century. The devotional and history paintings, allegories and portraits shown provide an insight into the social, political and religious life in the city on the lagoon. Two unusual paintings of scenes by Joseph Heintz the Younger depict Venice as a city of festivals and amusement.The exhibition is on view at Bavarian State Painting Collections, Staatsgalerie Würzburg, Residenzplatz 2, 97070 Würzburg, Germany.
