EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent bronze horse statues adorning the front of St. Mark's Basilica, which gracefully overlooks St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy. The wood engraving, created around 1875 by Edward Whympter after Harry Fenn, beautifully captures the essence of these iconic sculptures. The horses stand proudly on a balcony-like structure atop columns, adding an air of grandeur to the already stunning Venetian architecture surrounding them. As if frozen in time, they exude strength and elegance with their intricate details and lifelike poses. In this late 19th-century depiction, we see a couple standing beneath one of the majestic horses, gazing up at its magnificence. The man wears a hat while his companion is dressed in traditional attire - a snapshot into fashion from that era. The statue itself is flanked by pillars adorned with ornate engravings and topped with statues depicting saints and lions. This combination creates a harmonious blend between religious symbolism and Venetian culture. Edward Whympter's skillful engraving technique brings out every fine detail of Harry Fenn's original artwork. From the texture of the bronze to the feathers on birds flying above, each element contributes to making this piece truly remarkable. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only Venice's architectural beauty but also its rich history and artistic heritage captured within this single frame.
