M. Charles Yriarte has written a Life of Paolo Veronese, which is full
of charm and knowledge. It is interesting to take a copy of Boschini's
_Della pittura veneziana_, 1797, when visiting the galleries, the
palaces, and the churches of Venice. His lists of the pictures, as they
were known in his day, often open our eyes to doubtful attributions.
Second-hand copies of Boschini are not difficult to pick up. When the
later-century artists are reached, a good sketch of the Venice of their
period is supplied by Philippe Monnier's delightful _Venice in the
Eighteenth Century_ (Chatto and Windus), which also has a good chapter
on the lesser Venetian masters. The best Life of Tiepolo is in Italian,
by Professor Pompeo Molmenti. The smaller masters have to be hunted for
in many scattered essays; a knowledge of Goldoni adds point to Longhi's
pictures. Canaletto and his nephew, Belotto, have been treated by M.
Uzanne, _Les Deux Canaletto_; and Mr. Simonson has written an important
and charming volume on Francesco Guardi (Methuen, 1904), with beautiful
reproductions of his works. Among other books which give special
information are Morelli's two volumes, _Italian Painters in Borghese and
Doria Pamphili_, and _In Dresden and Munich Galleries_, translated by
Miss Jocelyn ffoulkes (Murray); and Dr. J. P. Richter's magnificent
catalogue of the Mond Collection--which, though published at fifteen
guineas, can be seen in the great art libraries--has some valuable
chapters on the Venetian masters.
