Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"The gorgeously illustrated catalog provides the first survey of the American grand tour to Venice combining fine and decorative arts." * Artfix Daily *
"[A] lavishly illustrated, fascinating book."---Lauren Moya Ford, Hyperallergic
"[A] beautifully illustrated catalog."---William Newton, The Federalist
"The lush yet sensitive design of the more than 300-page volume echoes the sumptuousness of the art enshrined in it. Scholarly essays cover the marketing of artistic Venice, the process of regenerating Venetian crafts, and American participation in the story. Glass and lace terminology is clarified through glossaries containing such exquisite words as fragole, fenicio and reticella. Engaging biographies of key artists, critics and collectors appear as an appendix."---Kate Eagen Johnson, Antiques & The Arts
