Le ricche minere della pittura veneziana: non solo delle pitture publiche di Venezia; ma dell'Isole ancora circonvicine

Abstract

Seminal guide to the public works of art in Venice and the surrounding islands. Each chapter treats a different sestiere, describing artworks in more than 350 total churches, government buidlings, and palaces, with all of the locations listed in an index. Marco Boschini (1613-1678) was a venetian painter, engraver, and art dealer whose most important client, Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici, commissioned him to purchase Venetian paintings for the Medici collection.
