EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Santa Maria Formosa, a Renaissance church located in Venice, Italy. The image was captured by Donald Shaw MacLaughlan in the late 19th to early 20th century, specifically in 1925. Built in 1492, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to Venetian history and Christian faith. The name "Formosa" is derived from an intriguing legend that suggests the Virgin Mary once appeared disguised as a voluptuous woman at this very location. This etching beautifully captures both the exterior and landscape surrounding the church, highlighting its neo-classical design elements. Published in "Venice - Past and Present" written by Selwyn Brinton with editing by Geoffrey Holme, this print transports viewers back in time to experience the allure of Venice during the early twentieth century. Its monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this stunning piece of art. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the rich heritage and religious significance that Santa Maria Formosa holds within its walls. It serves as a reminder of our connection to history and spirituality while also showcasing MacLaughlan's talent for capturing architectural beauty through his lens.
