This year&#8217;s big surprise was a woodcut that represents a view of Venice. I took a few detail shots but somehow managed to miss getting an overall shot but there&#8217;s a very good image on Wikipedia. The sign for this work read as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nJacopo de&#8217; Barbari<br \/>\nVenetian, (c. 1460\/1470 &#8211; 1516)<\/p>\n<p><strong>View of Venice<\/strong><br \/>\n1500<br \/>\nwoodcut on six sheets of laid paper<\/p>\n<p>National Gallery of Art, Rosenwald Collection<\/p>\n<p><em>View of Venice<\/em> was unprecedented in scale and ambition. To make his drawings, Jacopo de&#8217; Barbari relied upon the work of surveyors, who likely took sightings from bell towers across Venice. They borrowed tools from other trades: compasses and astrolabes were used for navigation, and instructions for measuring angles and distances existed in treatises on gunnery. De&#8217; Barbari&#8217;s genius lay in being able to integrate these views to form both an overview perspective and a city map. Master woodcarvers then used his drawings to create blocks for printing. The project took three years to complete. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dorothy and I went to the National Gallery of Art today.
