Paolo Veneziano: art & devotion in 14th-century Venice

"The foremost Venetian painter of the fourteenth century, Paolo Veneziano (ca. 1295-ca. 1362) is regarded as the founder of the Venetian school of painting. This publication, and the exhibition it accompanies, reunites, for the first time, the dispersed components of two of his rare surviving altarpieces and presents them alongside contemporaneous objects in various media to demonstrate how the innovative and visually rich work of Paolo Veneziano engaged with fourteenth-century advances in manuscript illumination, ivory carving, textile production, and metalwork"--
