For much of my life I have been under the spell of this artist. I am no connoisseur, cultural scholar or art historian. I know nothing about painterly techniques, chromatic gradations or artistic affinities, and my infatuation with him is largely affectionate fancy. I feel I know him personally, and I often sense that I am directly in touch with him across the centuries, across the continents, as one might be in touch with a living friend..." So starts Jan Morris’s latest book, which she has said will also be her last: a genial, witty, and touching journey through the endlessly evocative art of Carpaccio. Saluting the painter whose pictures remain some of the most enchanting ever made of Venice, Jan Morris makes her own last journey to a city she has written about like no other. Richly illustrated with complete paintings and eye-catching details, this book is a fitting swansong by a great writer to her favourite painter.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 135mmItem Length: 195mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 398gAuthor: Jan MorrisGenre: Arts & PhotographyBook Series: Jan MorrisRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
