The exceptional artistic products from one of Venice’s premier Gothic and Renaissance families are on view now at the Palazzo Sarcinelli.
 
Active between 1440 and the beginning of the 16th century, the Vivarini family is — and was — known as one of Venice’s most accomplished artist families, producing limitless quantities of quality work. Beginning with Antonio Vivarini and continuing with Bartolomeo Vivarini and Luigi Vivarini, an outstanding number of pictures and altarpieces from the painters survive.
 
Now on view at the luxurious Palazzo Sarcinelli, “The Vivarinis: The Splendor of Painting Between the Gothic and Renaissance” is a delightful exhibition that showcases the family’s artistic products and highlights their stylistic evolution through a rapidly changing cultural, political, social, and economic era. The exhibition opened on February 20 and will be on view through June 5.
