EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to a serene Venetian night where the moon takes center stage. The eclipse of the moon is beautifully captured against the backdrop of a limpid sky, creating an ethereal atmosphere that enchants the viewer. The foreground reveals a partial view of the right facade of the Basilica of San Marco, adding a touch of architectural grandeur to this celestial spectacle. The end part of the basilica's facade showcases intricate arches and building elements that stand as testaments to Venice's rich history and artistic heritage. As our eyes wander from the majestic basilica towards the heavens above, we witness nature's extraordinary phenomenon unfolding before us. The moon, partially veiled by darkness during its eclipse, becomes an astronomical marvel that captivates both astronomers and dreamers alike. This photograph was taken around 1950 by Leiss Ferruccio - an artist with an exceptional talent for capturing mood images. Through his lens, he transports us into a world where architecture and astronomy coexist harmoniously in one frame. The thematic search behind this image lies in exploring natural elements and phenomena such as eclipses while also appreciating man-made structures like columns and decorative details found within historic buildings. It serves as a reminder that even amidst human creations, nature continues to astound us with its beauty and power. Let this remarkable print serve as a reminder of our place in both time and space – connecting us to centuries-old architecture while reminding us of our smallness beneath the vastness of cosmic events like lunar eclipses.
