Klappentext

… Venice at dawn, seen from the deck of the ship …

A Venice wobbling in a thousand fresh-water reflections, cool as a jelly. It was as if some great master, stricken by dementia, had burst his whole colour-box against the sky to deafen the inner eye of the world. Cloud and water mixed in with each other, dripping with colours, merging overlapping, liquefying, with steeples and alconies and roofs floating in space, like the fragments of some stained glass window seen through a dozen veils of rice – paper

Zusammenfassung
One of Europe's most beautiful cities is celebrated through the talents of artist Fabrice Moireau

Venice, a mosaic of over 100 islands, many connected by the 400 bridges which span its famous canals, is possibly the most romantic city in the world. It began as a village in the marshes and grew into a formidable sea power, dubbed the Queen of the Adriatic. Now its fading glories - the canals and palaces, monuments and churches battle with the elements, yet remain breathtakingly beautiful. Artist Fabrice Moireau showcases Venice's grand attractions and hidden charms through his watercolour paintings and pencil sketches.
