Artist's Description
Capital of a column in the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Hvar. The current St. Stephen’s was built in 1605 on the site of an earlier church from the 9th century. The Croatian city of Hvar, on the island of the same name, has been inhabited since pre-historic times. The ancient Greeks founded the colony of Pharos in 384 BCE on the site of nearby Stari Grad, making it one of the oldest towns in Europe. Located at the center of the Adriatic sailing routes, Havr has long been an important base for trade throughout the Adriatic. In medieval times, the city became significant within the Venetian Empire as an important naval base with a strong fortress above, encircling the town walls and protecting the port . Prosperity brought culture and the arts, with one of the oldest surviving theatres in Europe, opened in 1612. Today, not only to the city’s 700-year-old walls survive, but many noble houses and public buildings from 15th–17th centuries as well.
About W Chris Fooshee
'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922.

But in the meantime, consider placing one of these photographs on your wall as a window to foreign lands. A note to those who purchase one of my images, you have my deepest thanks. I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
