A fresco on a Grand Canal palazzo.
One of the sculptures above the windows of the palazzo–the Ca’ Rezzonico–across from ours.
Above every window was a different head. Were they there to ward off the evil spirits?
I’ve still got Venice on my mind. One of the many reasons we went to this charming city was to see the art at the biennale and museums. That art was wonderful to see and I’ll definitely talk more about it in another post. But what I was also charmed by in Venice was the art of all sorts that I passed everyday as we were out and about.
I loved this doorbell.
Mary graced the wall just around the corner from our apartment.
This sculpture was high up on a building.
From our apartment, we could see Ca’ Rezzonico, a palazzo turned museum of 18th century Venice art. Above each of the arched windows, there was a different head. (Two of them are above.) And just off of our vaporetto stop, the Mary carving above looked down on us.
There were sculptures on bridges, stunning frescoes on the palazzos of the Grand Canal and even the graffiti was rather artistic. It felt liked any where I looked, there was something else to look at.
The owl was “in town” for the biennale and was right next to our vaporetto stop, the Ca’ Rezzonico.
I even liked how this buoy looked on the old brick.
And this graffiti was pretty cool too, thought perhaps a bit menacing.
