Accompanying a major traveling exhibition, this book examines the unique artistic and cultural exchange between the Republic of Venice and Turkish Ottoman culture and identity over a three-hundred-year period.
From the early Renaissance to the end of the eighteenth century, Venice held a central position in the global trade network.
