The Venice That Made Bellini

Kings Manor, University of York, Exhibition Square, York

20 November 2015

Most historians agree that Venice was at the height of its economic
might during the first half of the fifteenth century, sending galleys
on numerous shipping routes which poured rivers of gold into its
patrician hands. Venice's attention, however, was not limited to trade.
During the span of three doges (Michele Steno, Tommaso Mocenigo and
Francesco Foscari), Venice ferociously expanded into Italy's mainland,
rejecting the non-interventionist approach that it had maintained for
centuries. With new land, needs and pressures, society and culture
rapidly changed. And yet, the history of art has mostly remained silent
about this frantic period. What forms of artistic and architectural
culture did Venice privilege in the first half of the Quattrocento? And
why have they remained mostly invisible? By bringing together a number
of international scholars, this workshop intends to both reveal new
evidence and to ask questions about the ways by which Venice mobilised
artworks and architectural works in the early Quattrocento.

The workshop is free. Graduate and post-doc students are particularly
welcome.
