The J. Paul Getty Museum presents “Paolo Veneziano: Art & Devotion in 14th-Century Venice,” through Oct. 3, at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. For information, go online to www.getty.edu. Paolo Veneziano lived in 14th-century Venice, a time when the Bubonic Plague, the so-called “Black Death,” decimated one-third of the European population. During this dire period, the already devout Roman Catholic faithful were in a state of heightened spirituality, and found hope and solace in religion.
In this environment, religious art became one of the most — if not the most — powerful bridge of faith alone, between men, women and the divine — alleviating their constant fear of death. Veneziano’s career coincided with one of the most prosperous periods in Venice history, as it was a major financial and maritime power during the Middle Ages.
