Photographs of Venetian Architecture and Sculpture

Artist:   Ralph Lieberman, photographer
Location:   Photo archive, Giorgio Cini Foundation
Media:   Black and white photographic prints
Sponsor:   No current sponsor 

The photographic archive housed by the Giorgio Cini Foundation is the most comprehensive collection of photographs of works of art currently available to students and scholars in Venice. The thousands of prints contained herein are indexed and mounted in such a way as to permit a level of detail far superior to that generally found in books or through the electronic media.

Although the Foundation has a permanent staff for mounting and cataloguing new photographs, there are presently no funds at its disposal for further acquisitions.

Ralph Lieberman, a well-known photographer of architecture and sculpture, has provided illustrations for dozens of important art history texts. A recognized authority on Italian Renaissance architecture, he has also published two works entitled The Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli in Venice and Renaissance Architecture in Venice .

A selection of 424 of Lieberman’s prints, many of which depict works that have been fully restored, will now be given to the Cini Foundation. These will make a wonderful addition to the Foundation’s current resources.
