Exhibition of Venetian Painting from the Fifteenth Century through the Eighteenth Century

About the exhibition

California Palace of the Legion of Honor presented Exhibition of Venetian Painting from the Fifteenth Century through the Eighteenth Century in San Francisco in 1938. The exhibition surveyed Venetian painting across four centuries, retaining historical subject titles and individual early paintings. Documented examples include Giovanni Battista Tiepolo’s Madonna of the Goldfinch (c. 1767/1770; oil on canvas) and Sebastiano Ricci’s The Exaltation of the True Cross (1733; oil on canvas). The reconstructed checklist is partial, and exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
