Heir to a centuries-old tradition, Venetian civilization shone brightly at the dawn of the 18th century, in the field of plastic arts (with the painters Piazzetta and Giambattista Tiepolo or Canaletto, the sculptors Corradini and Brustolon. ...), decorative arts, religious music and opera (with composers such as Albinoni, Vivaldi...) or theatre (through the innovations of the young Goldoni, the figure of Polichinelle, the carnival...).

Exhibition at the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais from 26 September 2018 to 21 January 2019.
