Question

Does anyone know where to get information and pictuers of venice during shakespears time

Answer 1

The well-known contemporary artists mostly did religious paintings and portraits, but there are a lot of Venetian scenes painted roughly 75  - 150 years after the time of Shakespeare. Canaletto did a lot of paintings of Venetian scenes which were done from life - unusual at the time.

Painters like Carlevaris http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/c/c... , http://www.allposters.it/gallery.asp?aid...

Canaletto http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/eGalle...

and Van Wittel http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/c/c...

There is a really good site for clothing fashion in Venice during the late renaissance at: http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net... , but it doesn't really have any views of the city then.
