Venezia?lovingly referred to by the locals as "La Serenissima," the most serene ?has long transported visitors into a dreamlike world.
Here are the four gilded horses?the quadriga?and other treasures of the Basilica of San Marco; the magnificent piazza and palazzi of Venice that line the shore of the Grand Canal; and the art treasures of Titian, Tintoretto, and Tiepolo.
Compact enough to take on a tour, these pleasingly chunky [6" x 6" size] art books focus on a particular city or region, presenting outstanding examples of the art and architecture found there. Each offers a quick orientation and art historical explanations, color photographs of the works discussed, essays on history and culture, town maps and ground plans with thumbnail views, an illustrated time chart, and a guide to architectural styles.
