Note: Roy Lichtenstein’s tongue-in-cheek humour is
ever-present in this work as it makes a pun about
the 15th-century Venetian school and the popular
window coverings. Artists such as Titian and
Veronese were considered to have brought a
primacy of colour over the line of the artwork of this
period. Lichtenstein subverts this with a cool palette and his recognisable bold outlines.
