Venice & Antwerp 1: The Cities Compared

Subtitle: Cities compared, The
Synopsis: Between 1496 and 1538 a major change of attitude towards public building and spaces took place in Venice and development took place around the Piazza San Marco and the Rialto. This contrasts with Antwerp which grew rapidly outwards from the Medieval core of the Grote Markt and Cathedral. Both were of great commercial importance and extremely rich, both reached a peak of prosperity in the period and declined, one through Spanish conquest and the other due to exhausting wars and the development of new trade with the Americas.
