Masters of Venice: Renaissance Painters of Passion and Power

The De Young Museum (San Francisco, USA) hosts Masters of Venice: Renaissance Painters of Passion and Power, a worldwide exclusive presentation of 50 paintings by Venetian painters Titian, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto, Mantegna, and more, primarily from the sixteenth century, all on loan from the Gemäldegalerie of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

Featured are examples of the work of these artists that were collected by the archdukes and emperors of the Habsburg family, which are among the most celebrated holdings in the collections of the Gemäldegalerie.

Key works include Titian's sumptuous Danáe (1560s), Mantegna's tortured Saint Sebastian (1457–1459) and four rare paintings by Giorgione, including The Three Philosophers (ca.1508–1509) and Portrait of a Young Woman (Laura) (1506). The exhibition also includes works by Palma, Bordone, Bassano, and more. Together, these examples represent the range of Venetian accomplishment in Renaissance-era painting.
