Venetian Cityscape Prints



VENETIAN CITYSCAPE PRINTS : A virtual exhibition by the Department for Image Science

In June the virtual exhibition *VENETIAN CITYSCAPE PRINTS*: A cicerone through the Venice of the early 18th century* developed by the Department for Image Science from the inventory of the Goettweig Monasteries Graphic Collection opens containing views of famous Venetian palaces, churches and town squares as well as reproduction engravings of important Venetian paintings by artists like Tizian, Tintoretto and Veronese.

Many artists produced their art works for the first time with the aid of the contemporary innovation *camera ottica*, a kind of wide-angel-lens that makes accessible, compared to the human eye, a wide field of vision of the squares, palaces and churches realistically visible. In this way the cityscape prints possess a documentary nature of Venices building history. Often the engravings are the only witness of the former look of the world-famous lagoon city before radical modification or demolition. The exhibition which is accompanied by texts of Werner Telesco also includes views of prominent memorials: Doge's palace, San Marco, Piazzetta, S. Giorgio Maggiore, Santa Maria della Salute, Rialto bridge and Arsenal. The main message of the *Vedute Ideate* is the effect of memory, the faithful documentation of Venetian main monuments that serves as remarkable testimonial of Venetian self depiction at the beginning of the 18th century.

The image database, which is result of the co-operation between the Department for Image Science, Danube University and the Goettweig Monastery is free for scientific use. High resolution Digital Fine Art Prints can be ordered from the Department for Image Science.

Print Australia

The Print Australia website was founded in October 1999. In the eight years of its operation the ISP has changed hands four times. Unfortunately, the most recent changeover has not been smooth and the service provider appears to be in the process of folding.
For more info see Blitz on Whilrpool:

What this means for Print Australia is that the original website is no longer online, and the contact emails are expected to go down at any time.

Steps are being taken to source a new service provider. In the interim, you are invited to access the site in its archived format on the Internet Archive site.

All other Aviary sites (Bellebyrd, Blakkbyrd and Lyrebyrd) remain operational.

There are extensive links between the various sites which will be out of order. We apologise for the inconvenience and request your patience.
