EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Scala dei Giganti and the Palazzo Ducale in Venice, Italy. The renowned Italian photographer, Mark Edward Smith, skillfully brings to life the intricate details of this historical landmark. The image showcases the imposing entrance of the Ducal Palace, which was built around 1390-1424. A majestic staircase takes center stage, designed specifically for coronation ceremonies of Doges. Two remarkable sculptures by Jacopo Sansovino depicting Neptune and Mars flank the steps, adding a touch of classical elegance. In this snapshot from the early 20th century, tourists can be seen ascending or descending these magnificent stairs. A father and child stand at one side while a mother with an umbrella walks down on another. The long skirts worn by women reflect the fashion trends of that era. The Gothic architecture is beautifully represented through arches and statues adorning every corner. Notably present is the iconic winged lion symbolizing St Mark's Square. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness Venetian history come alive amidst its stunning architectural marvels. Mark Edward Smith's impeccable photography skills capture not only a moment frozen in time but also evoke a sense of wonderment at Venice's rich cultural heritage.
