Venetian School (Art)  

From the later part of the 15th century, Venice had a distinctive, thriving and influential art scene. 
     Beginning with Giorgione (c. 1477–1510) and Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430–1516), major artists of the Venetian school included Titian (1489–1576), Tintoretto (1518–1594), Veronese (1528–1588) and the Bassano (1510–1592). 
     Considered to bring a primacy of color over line, this tradition was seen to contrast with the Mannerism then prevalent in the rest of Italy. 
     The Venetian style is viewed as having had a great influence on the subsequent development of painting.
