From Tizian to Tiepolo. Venetian Drawings in the Städel Museum

The exhibition is the result of two years spent examining the Städel’s collection of Venetian drawings. A representative selection of the most important of these sheets offers a survey of the art of drawing in Venice from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. It combines drawings intended for purposes, such as figure studies, designs for altarpieces and ceiling paintings, autonomous paintinglike compositions, portraits, landscapes and views. The concentration of works from the sixteenth and the eighteenth century, respectively, is in keeping with the heydays of Venetian art: Titian and Tintoretto, as representatives of the sixteenth century, are shown along with the great masters of the eighteenth century: Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo, Piazzetta, Canaletto, Francesco Guardi, and others.
