Trophees De Venise II (Detail)

Aka >> Venetian Trophies II

H Carre > Fall-Winter 2002

The eye is a hunter which does not kill. Instead it caresses its prey, and what the eye carries off after will not furnish a mantelpiece so much as a recess of the soul. The beauties of the Saint Mark Basilica, still permeated by the ancient Byzantine glory! Star-spangled vaults, stone lace-work, mineral displays whose apparent chaos is beautifully resolved with inlaid-work and rosettes. The enchanted visitor is able to take away a choice haul as souvenirs.
