Summary:"Bassano, although widely appreciated in his lifetime, was later overshadowed by the immense fame of the Venetian masters Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese. Located outside the artistic center of Venice, Jacopo Bassano and his sons were able to produce masterpieces of outstanding quality. They achieved widespread popularity in a variety of genres including biblical-pastoral paintings, portraits, and altarpieces. The purpose of this book is to present a fresh insight into the innovative, artistic practices of Jacopo Bassano and his workshop. This volume consists of insightful essays by specialists on Jacopo Bassano, including Luisa Attardi, Alessandro Ballarin, Claudia Caramanna, and Kirsi Eskelinen. Special attention is given to Jacopo Bassano's career in his native town Bassano and his strategies for expanding the activities of his workshop in Venice. Furthermore, the articles highlight his relationship to nature and the Venetian countryside and his pioneering work in depicting the changing light during different times of the day."
