which had remained faithful to the memory of the great masters... Explanation: This is how I would translate if you want to keep close to the original wording. Or alternatively something like: which, since the great masters..., had not witnessed much innovation |

standing still (see note) Explanation: "....contributed to the renewal of Venetian painting, which for some time had been standing still in its memory of the great sixteenth-century masters" It's all a question of style. There are many ways to say this. It's up to you as the translator to find the "mot juste" that flows well in the context. |

set in the ways Explanation: IMHO if a literal translation works perfectly, allora non c'è problema (then there's no problem), but you have to go as far away from the original wording as it takes to get the best possible translation that sounds natural and is faithful to the meaning rather than the words. I could have put "set in the memories"... |

13 hrs confidence:
frozen (in time) Explanation: I think trying to work in memory or memories creates a distinctly un-English sentence and I would just ditch that part despite your inclination to try to follow the original wording. In Italian it seems to work, but in English I keep wondering, WHOSE memories? Mine? Ours? ...contributed to modernize/rejuvenate Venetian painting (which had been) frozen in time since the great sixteenth century masters |
