Venice and the Islamic World 828-1797
Venice and the Islamic World 828-1797.
Until 25 November 2007.
This important exhibition explores the intense and elaborate relationships between the Serenissima Republic and the Muslim world. Paintings, glass, pottery and metal art works, as well as jewelry, textile and prints, illustrate in a fascinating display, divided according to themes, the artistic, commercial, knowledge-sharing and technological relations between Venice and Near Eastern nations (Arab, Persian, Turkish) over nearly a millennium. Standing out among the over 200 works on display are several 14th- to 18th-century Venetian painting masterpieces: from Bellini to Carpaccio, Veronese to Tiepolo.
The show, mounted first by the New York Metropolitan Museum, is a product of a collaboration of the American museum, the Venice Civic Museums and the Institut du Monde Arabe of Paris.
