the reigning image of the complex was the figure of venice herself-- venice triumphant, venice personified as justice-- the highest virtue of the state. to that traditional imagery, however, sansovino brought a new kind of language from rome-- the language of the olympian gods. the figure of minerva represents wisdom-- the wisdom of the ancients, who were so clever as to have established this constitutional republic. the figure of mercury represents eloquence, and eloquence is one of the fundamental political virtues of venice. we must also remember mercury is the god of commerce, and that is the real foundation of venice. the figure of peace is, of course, the ultimate virtue that is guaranteed by venice. venice brings peace to the world the way the ancient romans did. and then there is apollo. apollo is, after all, god of the sun-- sole in italian. sole also stands for "one"-- that is "solo"-- and apollo is one. apollo is unique. apollo is alone in all this, just as venice is alone-- unique in the world. venetian artists--giorgione, veronese, tintoretto, and above all, titian-- transform

with a permanent theater building in venice. heaven keep you. the plot of the venetian twins is intricate and revolves around a favored commedia theme, mistaken identity. the twins, zanetto and tonino, are played by the same actor but are totally different in personality. zanetto is buffoonish, unsuccessful in matters of love but successful in money matters. tonino, while poor, is a great deal more personable and successful in all matters. neither has seen the other for years, but as plot would have it, both arrive in verona, unbeknown to each other, and so the complications begin. one word more, friend, don't call me tonino. i don't want to be recognized. ah. call me zanetto. ah. each is mistaken for the other, and most of the characters find themselves in a constant stage of bewilderment. goldoni uses the device of the aside to keep us informed on the real thoughts and reactions of the characters. we watch the misunderstandings grow more complicated in this fast-paced, non-naturalistic comedy. this production of the venetian t

but also it is the symbol le reality of t do of venice, the schizophrenia of venice, which is seen in the contrast between the past and the present, an invasion of modern materials into a very ancient city. the knife is truly a ship. it traveled through the water of the canals of venice. so it becomes the symbol of a city and represents, also, the people visiting the city. it's a traveling object, and so as a traveling object, it becomes a nomad. so a work of art is a nomad, going everywhere in cities as new york, paris, venice, and los angeles. oldenburg's witty play with scale has been copied everywhere, as here in soho, new york's fashionable art center of the eighties. we've reached the point where more people are exposed to art than ever before in history, not only through books, films, museums, but from the everyday artifacts around them in their lives-- through advertising, through packaging, through the very clothes that they wear. the distinction between art and commodity is now blurred. so where does the artist go from here? we're looking at the skyline of new york, the sort

in 1844 he painted approach to venice.ture is only incidentally about the boating party making their way into the city. turner's interest is in suffusing water and sky with color at twilight and capturing its effect on the distant city's skyline. ruskin was spellbound by its beauty. (ruskin) "it was, i think, when i first saw it... the most perfectly beautiful piece of color of all that i have seen produced by human hands." (narrator) shade and darkness - evening of the deluge, painted in 1843, is more about light than a biblical account of noah and the ark. turner's light produces a mystical bent that shows up in several late canvases. layer after layer of pigment, applied to create the vortex of mist and air churning angrily around the blinding light, conjures up the elemental forces of the cosmos. the abstract beauty of turner's late canvases that dissolve into light are especially apparent in some of his unfinished paintings like norham castle, sunrise. returning to a subject he had painted years earlier, he advanced h

these water colors were painted while durer was traveling from nuremberg to venice. he wished to learn from italian art and to have his status as an artist acknowledged in the land of the renaissance. venetian paiings from around 1500 show the city that durer visited-- the wealthiest trading center in europe. giovanni bellini, who painted this portrait of the doge of venice, was described by durer as very old but still the best of the venetian painters. the young german was gratified that this italian master should ask him for one of his works. bellini and his contemporaries were influenced by northern art, its realism, its sensitivity to light and landscape, and bellini had become a master of the northern technique of oil painting. in his depiction of saint francis, the whole landscape seems to convey the ecstasy of the saint's vision. after durer's second venetian journey, he engraved some of his most intricate, complex plates. in night, death, and the devil, the artist takes the equestrian statue he had seen in italy and rides it into a northern forest. here's the
