Woodcut Book Illustration in Renaissance Italy: Venice in the Sixteenth Century
By the end of the fifteenth century, Venice dominated the publishing market, with a majority of the books printed in Europe issuing from her presses. One of the most distinguished publishers active in Venice at the turn of the sixteenth century was Aldus Manutius, famed for his editions of Greek works, for pioneering new typefaces such as the italic, and for the magnificent Hypnerotomachia Poliphili ( 23.73.1 ). Another innovation introduced by Aldus was the intimate handheld book in octavo format. Other publishers soon picked up on this novelty, as can be seen from a 1519 Italian edition of The Golden Ass by the late classical author Apuleius ( 56.608.1 ). It is hard to imagine a more enjoyable read than this pocket-sized illustrated version of Apuleius' entertaining tale of a young man accidentally transformed into a donkey. This book provides an example of the kind of illustration developed in Venice around the turn of the century, when the shaded style, in which forms are modeled with parallel hatching, replaced the pure outlines of earlier Venetian woodcuts .
