Overview

Venice is a city of magic, and these exquisite photographs will make you fall under its spell and understand why, for generations, it has inspired countless artists in every medium. The dreamlike blend of overlapping architectural styles on display attest to Venice's rich history. Everywhere there's enchantment: in the doors of homes opening onto the canals; in the details of the awe-inspiring Saint Mark's Basilica; in the water and sky glimmering like silk and tinted with violet, blue, and gold at dusk. Gaze in wonder at the magnificent Rialto bridge; at the unique synagogue Scuola Levantina; at the elegant palazzi near the Grand Canal. From the fishermen bringing in their catch to an incredible overview of the Piazza San Marco, the images show a world of beauty.
