Join Angelica Daneo, Chief Curator and Curator of European Art before 1900 at the Denver Art Museum, and tour the museum’s collection of Venetian paintings. From the gold ground panels of Jacobello del Fiore and Carlo Crivelli to the city views of Canaletto and the art of Veronese, Venice is highlighted as a unique center of artistic creation and a formidable source of talent, imagination and technical mastery.
