Venetian palette. The world of private man in the art of Venice of the Renaissance

Monograph E.V. Tsaylenko is a study of the art of the Venetian Renaissance, which can be studied only in close connection with the fundamental manifestations of the spiritual life of the era. The work examines the works of not only the Coriums of the Venetian Renaissance Arts - Giovanni Bellini, Georgon, Titian and Paolo Veronese - but also artists who are unfamiliar to the Russian reader. The author recreates a picture of the world of a Renaissance person in two main aspects - attitude to a woman and nature, which implies an appeal to a wide circle of worldview problems. At the same time, picturesque and graphic works are considered in close connection with artistic problems: issues of style, semantic significance, etc. The substantive base of the study forms the actual material gleaned from numerous historical sources of the era - treatises on family life, philosophical works on female beauty, upbringing, compensation about life in the villa, etc. They serve as the basis for the interpretation of the artistic content of works of art, offering a kind of real commentary on them and allowing them to see a specific life content in them
