EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Venice's iconic Grand Canal, showcasing the magnificent church of Santa Maria della Salute and the San Marco ferry. The image transports us to a bygone era, with its exquisite Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque architectural styles that have stood the test of time. The photograph was taken around 1922, providing a glimpse into Venice's rich history during the early 20th century. However, it also highlights an artwork created between 1631 and 1687 by Baldassarre Longhena, who masterfully designed the grandeur of Santa Maria della Salute. The church's dome and cupola dominate the skyline, serving as a testament to Venetian craftsmanship. Its intricate building elements and decorative sections showcase both elegance and opulence. As we gaze upon this scene captured by Alinari Fratelli, we are reminded of Venice's strong maritime traditions represented by lanterns adorning its customs administrative structure along the canal. This print not only showcases architectural marvels but also depicts daily life in this vibrant city. The bustling canal serves as a vital transportation route for both naval vessels and gondolas alike. It is here where urban scenes unfold against a backdrop of religious devotion embodied by Santa Maria della Salute. Alinari Fratelli has skillfully captured this picturesque moment in time when water served as both method and means for transportation in Venice. Through their lens, they have immortalized an enchanting blend of European baroque architecture with Renaissance influences that have shaped this city over centuries. As we admire this stunning print from Alinari Fratelli's collection, let us appreciate how it encapsulates not just one artist or period but rather multiple layers of history spanning across two millennia – truly making it an invaluable piece capturing Venice’s timeless allure.
