History
From an exhibition on the Venetian Renaissance. I've split this long sentence into two, but still can't come up with anything natural sounding for synthèse unique. Many thanks in advance.
L’exposition souhaite faire le point sur la peinture vénitienne dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle, depuis l’installation définitive de Véronèse à Venise en 1553 jusqu’à la mort de Titien en 1576, époque moins connue au cours de laquelle les artistes vénitiens opèrent une synthèse unique en adaptant le maniérisme d’Italie centrale à leur vision naturaliste du monde.

: "carry out a unique synthesis that adapts..." I don't think this direct translation is especially high-falutin for the context

unique combination; unique fusion
these days we talk a lot about fusion of ideas, notably in cookery, where different genres are mixed.
