Although notorious for the scores of amorous conquests he recorded in his remarkably frank memoirs, Casanova was just as practiced at charming his way into the most elite social circles, through an inimitable mix of literary ambition, improvisational genius and outright fraud. In his travels across Europe and through every level of society from the theatrical demimonde to royal courts, he was also seduced by the visual splendors he encountered.00This volume accompanies the first major art exhibition outside Europe to lavishly recreate Casanova?s visual world, from his birthplace of Venice, city of masquerades, to the cultural capitals of Paris and London and the outposts of Eastern Europe. It provides a survey of important works of 18th-century European art by masters such as Canaletto, Fragonard, Boucher, Houdon and Hogarth, along with exquisite decorative arts objects.00Exhibition: Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, United States (27.08. - 31.12.2017). 500 $a Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name held at Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, August 27-December 31, 2017; Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, Legion of Honor, February 10-May 28, 2018; and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, July 1-October 8, 2018. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-299) and index. 600 10 $a Casanova, Giacomo, $d 1725-1798 $x Travel $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, European $y 18th century $v Exhibitions. 651 0 $a Europe $x Social life and customs $y 18th century $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Ilchman, Frederick, $e editor. 700 1 $a Michie, Thomas S., $e editor. 700 1 $a Dickerson, C.
