Read moreTitian and Tintoretto, St Mark's Basilica and the Ducal Palace, masquerades and Chioggiotti fishing crews all appear in these prints from Yriarte's Venice, a survey of the city's history, art, architecture, industries and social life. The plates come from F.J. Sitwell's English translation, published by George Bell & Sons in 1880. Reproductions of masterpieces by Veronese, Guardi, Tiepolo, Mantegna, Palma Vecchio and Palma il Giovane sit beside portraits of Isabella d'Este and Doge Marco Antonio Memmo. The architecture ranges from Sta Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, San Zaccaria and the Scuola della Misericordia down to carved capitals, bronze candelabra and palazzo doorways, while Venetian weddings, galley models of the fleet, lagoon views and manuscript illustrations bring in the life of the city.
