The Venetian School

The Venetian School refers to a group of painters in Venice during the Renaissance, particularly from the 15th to 16th centuries. Notable artists like Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese were key figures, known for their vibrant color use, dramatic lighting, and emphasis on emotion and movement. Unlike their counterparts in Florence, who focused on idealized forms and linear perspective, Venetian artists explored rich textures and atmospheric effects. Their work often featured mythology, religion, and portraits, greatly influencing the development of Western art and paving the way for future artistic movements.
