The Art of Venice Playing Cards
PLAYING CARDS celebrating the art of Venice, a city long described as a dream upon the water. Built on a lagoon and shaped by trade, wealth and cultural exchange, Venice became one of Europe’s most distinctive artistic centres, where light, colour and atmosphere defined a unique visual tradition.
From the early influence of Giovanni Bellini to the brilliance of Titian and the drama of Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese, Venetian painting developed a language unlike any other. Rather than precise line, artists focused on colour, movement and the shifting effects of light, inspired by the reflections of the lagoon and the glow of the Adriatic sky.
This pack of Art of Venice playing cards features 54 carefully selected works, bringing together masterpieces from across the Venetian tradition. From serene compositions to grand, theatrical scenes, the deck captures the richness, luminosity and variety of Venetian art.
A distinctive and elegant gift for those drawn to Venetian art and history, and a compelling addition to any collection. Those drawn further into the city may wish to build a series collection with related packs featuring Canaletto and Bellotto and Tiepolo.
