Drawing in Venice

Featuring over a hundred drawings from the collections of graphic art at the Uffizi, Florence, and the Ashmolean Museum, and Christ Church, Oxford, Drawing in Venice is based on ground-breaking new research. Published to coincide with a major Ashmolean-Uffizi collaborative exhibition, it traces continuities in Venetian drawing over three centuries, from around 1500 down to the foundation of the first academy of art in Venice in 1750. This book highlights the significance of drawing as a concept and as a practice in the artistic life of Venice and considers this in the context of the dominance of the family studio tradition and the city's thriving print trade. The book also discusses the history of the reception and collecting of Venetian drawings both in Britain and in Italy.
