"The Venetian School of Painting" by Evelyn March Phillipps is an informative historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the Venetian School of Painting, highlighting its masters and the evolution of its distinctive style from its inception to its decline. It seeks to educate art enthusiasts and visitors on the significance and contributions of Venetian painters in the broader context of art history. The opening of the work sets the stage by emphasizing the unique position of Venetian painting in contrast to other Italian schools. The author reflects on how Venice, through a confluence of influences and its own distinct cultural identity, cultivated an art form that stood apart, characterized by a sensuous appreciation for color and emotion over the intellectual rigor found in Florence. The introduction discusses the isolation and rich history of Venice, mentioning key elements that shaped its art, including the connection to the East and the local response to various art movements, ultimately framing the Venetian School as an important and singular artistic phenomenon to be explored throughout the text.
