EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of Venice, Italy, as seen from the water in 1916. The image focuses on two iconic landmarks of the city: The Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute. The Dogana, or Doge's Palace, is a historic building situated at the eastern end of St. Mark's Basin. It was originally built as the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. Over the centuries, it served various functions, including a prison and a seat of government. The Dogana's impressive Gothic and Renaissance architecture is a testament to Venice's rich history and cultural heritage. In the background, the magnificent Santa Maria della Salute stands proudly. This baroque church and monastery complex was built as a votive offering to the Virgin Mary for the city's deliverance from the plague in 1630. The church's stunning facade, with its twin bell towers and intricate decorations, is a symbol of Venice's resilience and faith. The photograph, taken by renowned British artist and illustrator Mortimer Menpes in 1916, offers a glimpse into Venice's past. The image is a reminder of the city's enduring charm and the historical significance of its landmarks. The Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute continue to be popular tourist attractions, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the magic of Venice.
