From bustling Piazza San Marco, to watery churches and abbeys like San Giorgio and Il Redentore, to tranquil, isolated squares and the marble palazzos lining the Grand Canal, the City of the Doges is a natural muse for panoramic photographer Jacques Boulay. This limited-edition book with huge single and double gatefolds and an accompanying signed print, reveals Venice to be far more than a collection of historic buildings, 16th-century fish markets, canals, and public squares. Stories abound in secret gardens and quiet waterways; the gravity of the ancient Palazzo Pisani-Moretta is set against the 1920s Hispano-Moorish delirium of the Lido; picturesque covered passages, cul-de-sacs, and brightly hued houses invite the reader to sink into mysterious vistas of one of the most verdant and seductive cities in the world.
