As a result, the visual culture of this waterborne Republic was influenced by the arts and civilizations of the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Through our study of this singular environment, this two-quarter sequence will address the experience of living in a multicultural state whose livelihood was based on global trade. We will investigate the ways in which the visual arts embraced and showcased Venice's diversity and apply our historical study to the global, multicultural society in which we live today.
