What is Padua and Venice : Transcultural Exchange in the Early Modern Age about?

Venice and Padua are neighboring cities with a topographical and geopolitical distinction. Venice is a port city in the Venetian Lagoon, which opened up towards Byzantium and the East. Padua on the mainland was founded in Roman times and is a university city, a place of Humanism and research into antiquity. The contributions analyze works of art as aesthetic formulations of their places of origin, which however also have an effect on and expand their surroundings. International experts investigate how these two different concepts stimulated each other in the Early Modern Age, and how the exchange worked. ** Painting History General Renaissance Techniques Art Sculpture & Installation Preface 6 Contents 8 Cultural Transfer in Microcosm 10 The Life of the Virgin at the Scrovegni Chapel, Padua and San Marco, Venice 28 The Eclectic Taste of the Gattamelata Family 38 Calligraphy, Epigraphy, and the Paduan- Venetian Culture of Letters in the Early Renaissance 50 Cultural Exchanges in Venice, for an Artistic “Archive of Memory” 70 Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini 88 Giovanni Bellini’s Lamentation Altarpiece for Santa Maria dei Servi in Venice 102 The Perplexing Problem of Portraits and
