Art has played a significant role in Venetian history throughout the ages. During the Renaissance, The city’s strong economy allowed wealthy patrons to support fledgling artists. The resulting movement is known as the Venetian School, which has a distinctive focus on light and smooth brushwork. In addition to painting, Venice is well-known for its Murano Glass, which is used for pieces from mirrors to sculptures.
