  • Museo Correr
    Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia — The neo-classical rooms and the Canova collection Museo Correr ENG The neo-classical rooms and the Canova collection The Correr Museum is laid out in various sections that offer a fascinating insight into the art and history of Venice. The first section occupies the Napoleonic Wing, a 19th century kings and emperors’ palace; here the sumptuous Neoclassical Rooms house a noteworthy collection of works by the great Antonio Canova Museo Correr sculptor (1757-1822). Venice, St. Mark’s Square LAYOUT AND COLLECTIONS BALLROOM This sumptuous and opulent ballroom is unique in the palace for the thoroughness and refinement of its Empire-style decor. Lorenzo Santi began work on the design in 1822, and Giuseppe Borsato completed the decoration in 1837/38. At either end, the room is bound by loggias intended to house the orchestra; above the gilded Corinthian capitals of these fluted columns in polished stucco are two small apses that make the upper area of the ballroom into an oval. The centre of the ceiling is frescoed with Peace surrounded by the Virtues and the Geni of Olympus. Painted by Odorico Politi, the work is a clear reference to the restoration of the Hapsburgs after the period of Napoleon. The door on the right at the end of the room leads to the beginning of the new itinerary of the Imperial rooms. — ROOM I - CANOVA COLLECTION Sala del Trono Lombardo–Veneto Canova, from the drawing to the model: Ballroom from an idea to the form in space Museo Correr The museum houses a large nucleus of autograph drawings from the collections of illustrious figures that knew Canova (Leopoldo Cicognara, Bartolomeo Gamba, Francesco Aglietti etc.).

Beyond the usual tourist ventures, there is a secret Venice and Veneto, known to Venetians of nobility and the privileged few. As a participant of this exclusive program, you will have the opportunity to join an intimate group of discerning travelers and be invited by members of the esteemed cultural and social world of the Veneto and Venice to private visits, luncheons, cocktail receptions, and dinners in magnificent villas and palazzi of Venetian nobility, rarely opened to outside visitors, accompanied by a historian of the Venetian community. Following the 500th anniversary of the birth of the great Italian classical architect Andrea Palladio, we will enjoy seven days of private visits and receptions in the most important Palladian villas in the Veneto and in palazzi in Venice, with their proprietors, specially organized for you. We will observe the development of Venetian art, décor and architecture through its beginnings to the emergence of the Renaissance and the peak of Venetian heritage in the 16th and the 18th centuries.

  • A Day in Venice"
    "A Day in Venice" Criado por : Cityseeker 12 Localizações indicadas Praça de São Marcos "World-Famous Piazza" The only Venetian square to be granted the title of 'piazza', St. Mark's Square, or Piazza San Marco, is the city's political, religious and social center. The square lies at one end of the Grand Canal, surrounded by some of the city's most iconic historic edifices. The Basilica di San Marco is the focal point of the square - a 12th-century, Venetian-Byzantine by Zairon church highlighted with gold mosaics and lavish carvings. On either side lie the Procuratie Vecchie, stately buildings that once harbored the offices and apartments of the procurators. Two columns erected in honor of the city's patron saints, St. Mark and St. Theodore of Amasea, stand nearby, while the splendid Doge's Palace, the towering Campanile, the Procuratie Nuove, the National Library, and a couple of museums take up the rest of the space around Venice's largest square. The city's history comes together at the awe-inspiring St. Mark's Square. +39 041 724 1040 Piazza San Marco, Veneza St Mark's Campanile "Panoramic View of the City" You get a splendid view of Venice and the Basilica di San Marco from the tallest bell tower in Venice. It can be seen from the laguna and once you have reached the top, the whole laguna can be seen from above. Even though the Basilica di San Marco-Campanile was erected at the beginning of the 20th Century, it is an exact replica of the 15th-century bell tower.

  • Venetian Well-Heads in Nineteenth-Century Taste
    05-425290.qxd:Main article template.qxd 31/3/10 08:45 Page 49 Anna Tüskés Venetian well-heads in nineteenth-century taste Venetian well-heads may not strike the modern researcher as objects of any special importance, rooted as they are in everyday life as basic parts in the water- system. Instead, these works of art are mostly displayed in museums or can be found in public and private collections from the United States to Russia. Many well-heads have been destroyed or lost. Surviving examples are, in many cases, deprived of their original function, and are used for decorative purposes, for example as flowerpots in private gardens or parks. This loss of function poses several problems for the researcher that render the actual historical investigation all the more difficult. The aim of this article is to show how the growing cult of Venice contributed to the emergence of well-heads in Anglo-American literature, and to the development and re-animation of the related branch of the art trade in the nineteenth century. After a review of travel journals and other literary works, copies, forgeries, and the activity of collectors and dealers in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century art trade, three newly identified well-heads will be presented as examples. These were previously thought to have been lost and have not been analysed in the context of Venetian carvings. At first, interest in well-heads was often connected to commercial activities. During the nineteenth century, those who studied well-heads were mostly sculptors and art dealers, as well as art historians sent to Venice from foreign countries as agents for various museums.

    1 INTRODUCTION The history of these magnificent marble busts featuring France’s first Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821) and his second wife the Empress Marie-Louise (1791–1847) is as fascinating as the characters portrayed. Dating from circa 1810, the two busts remained together for the following seven decades, having been passed down to Napoleon Bonaparte’s nephew Napoleon III (1808–73), who housed them at his residence, the Palais de Compiègne. Almost certainly, it was in 1881 that they were then separated, when Napoleon III’s widow the Empress Eugénie (1826–1920) gave the bust of Napoleon to her husband’s devoted former equerry Firmin Rainbeaux (1834–1916). Meanwhile, the bust of Marie-Louise remained with Eugénie who, when exiled in England, displayed it at her home at Farnborough Hill in Hampshire. After her death, it was sold to the Paris art dealer Élie Fabius (1864–1942) in 1927. Nine years later Fabius was able to buy the bust of Napoleon and thus after a separation lasting fifty–five years, this important pair of marbles were once more united. Certain parallels can be made between Napoleon and Marie-Lou- ise’s unusual marriage and the history of the two busts for although the Austrian archduchess was initially opposed to marrying her country’s greatest enemy, their matrimony resulted in love and deep mutual respect. Thus, like the busts themselves, theirs was a story of estrangement followed by union. Napoleon was not only a powerful military leader and astute politician but a man of intellect with great appreciation for the arts.

  • The Imperial Apartments of the Princess Sissi
    Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia — The Imperial Apartments of the Princess Sissi ENG The Imperial Apartments of the Princess — The itinerary Open to the public in July 2012 the new itinerary of the Imperial Rooms of the Royal Palace in Venice: a complex project, ended with the acquisition and the restauration of nine rooms, before occupied by public offices. This project is realized by the Comité Français pour la Sauvegarde de Venise and the collaboration of the Ministero per i Beni e le attività Culturali and of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia. The decoration of these rooms goes back to the Hapsburg period, although some valuable elements from the Napoleonic age have remained. It took place in two stages: the first 1836/38 prior to the arrival of Emperor Ferdinand I, who stayed here when he was crowned King of Lombardy-Venetia in September 1838 in Milan; the second 1854/56, before the state visit of the young sovereigns Franz Joseph and Elisabeth, “Sissi”, which lasted thirty-eight days between November 1856 and January 1857. The Empress was then to live here for another seven months between October 1861 and May 1862. Dining–room for week–day lunches Next to the large room of honour, this room had two functions: a dining- room for non-official occasions such as daily ‘work’ meetings of the Government cabinet, and as an antechamber to the following Lombardy- Venetia Throne Room. It was rebuilt as a Reception Hall in 1836. Designed and carried out by Giuseppe Borsato in the same year, its decorations are among the most successful in the palace and are testimony to the continuation of the neoclassical style long after the Napoleonic age.
