The Venetian Renaissance refers to a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in Venice, Italy, from the late 15th to the 16th century. This era is characterized by a unique blend of Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance influences, resulting in distinctive architecture, painting, and sculpture. Artists like Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese emerged, known for their vibrant use of color and innovative compositions. Venice's strategic location as a trade hub facilitated the exchange of ideas and styles, contributing to its artistic development.
