In the 16th century, the Venetian lawyer Odorico Pillone owned an extensive library, amassed on his family estate near Venice. In the 1580s, he decided to further enhance his collection by decorating sections of pages with various artistic illustrations, books at that time were often simply kept on shelves. The Italian graphic designer and painter Cesare Vecellio (1521–1601), a cousin of Titian, was chosen as the artist. In total, he illustrated 172 volumes. The themes of the illustrations were related to the content of the books themselves (which was convenient, as it made it easy to find a specific topic). According to Pillone, the painted pages transformed the library into a unique art gallery.

Catarino da Venezia, 1300s. Venetian painters were exposed to the luxurious, colorful textiles their city imported, and this love of color, pattern, and detail shows up even in early paintings like this.

@angelo_cennamo Lo leggo dopo avere amato Ragazzo in fiamme di Paul Auster, uscito da poco, e che consiglio, nel quale si parla appunto di Crane, artista di grande talento narrativo ma morto in giovane età.
