The Nasher Museum presents a multi-media exhibition that brings to life the city of Venice through Jacopo de\u2019 Barbari\u2019s iconic\u00a0View<\/em>. Printed in 1500, this mural-sized woodcut portrays a bird\u2019s eye view of the city that was instantly recognized as a technological and artistic masterpiece, a portrait of an urban marvel. No other city view rivaled its grandeur, ambition, or detail. With staggering precision, the\u00a0View of Venice<\/em>\u00a0visually describes the dense fabric of the city\u2014thousands of buildings, hundreds of bridges, and a complex network of islands, canals, narrow streets, squares, and wellheads.\u00a0The original print is on loan from the Minneapolis Institute of Art.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the first time, this exhibition animates the\u00a0View of Venice<\/em>\u00a0with interactive displays that tell the stories of one of the wealthiest, most powerful, and greatly admired cities in the early modern\u00a0world.\u00a0Touchscreens reveal the production of this extraordinary print as well as the historical and social themes that emerge from the image: the celebrated uniqueness of Venice, detailed city views, women and men, the state, religious life, collections, and lost treasures. An augmented reality highlights the stunning continuities and remarkable transformations to the city in the more than 500 years following the\u00a0View<\/em>\u2019s publication in Venice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This exhibition is curated by Kristin L. Huffman, Instructor of Art History in Duke University\u2019s Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies. The project, part of the\u00a0Visualizing Venice<\/em>\u00a0initiative, is the result of multi-disciplinary and collaborative research developed over three years in the Wired! Lab at Duke.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (July, 2017)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n People<\/strong><\/p>\n Kristin L.
