| Abstract | Venice holds a unique place in the history of the Mediterranean, at the crossroads between East and West. The city's commercial prowess made it a foremost centre of material culture and trade. Art imported to Venice and produced by Venetians abroad can provide valuable insights into the Republic's relations both with its own territories and foreign powers. These three papers will explore themes of travelling art and artists, civic identity, and artistic appropriation. Art in Dalmatia, produced both by local and Venetian artists, reflects the sometimes strained relationship between Venice and its territories. |
