VENEZIA NEL SETTECENTO. UNA CITTÀ COSMOPOLITA E IL SUO MITO

The exhibition recounts the life of the lagoon city in the last period of its glittering history, outlining its society and showing its most fascinating and curious aspects. There are nine thematic areas that, in the exhibition spaces and along the rooms of the Museum, restore the image of Venice through multiple representations: the views painted by the great names of the Venetian tradition, from Luca Carlevarijs to Canaletto to Michele Marieschi; the canvases with mythological and sacred subjects that evoke the ’itinerant’ masters such as Giambattista Tiepolo; the delicate portraits by Rosalba Carriera and the celebrations of Carnival and the sumptuous feast of the Sensa (Ascension).
