Artist's Description
The gondolas of Venice are iconic. The images of the gondola itself and the gondolier are globally recognizable. But, there is one other component of the boats that is almost equally well recognized. It is the steel fero da prora, the distinctive metal ornament at the bow that is used to balance the weight of the gondolier at the stern of every gondola. It is āSā shape symbolizes the winding of the Canal Grande, while the lunette, represents the Bridge of Rialto. The six teeth symbolize the six districts into which Venice is divided and a seventh tooth extends back toward the center of the gondola representing the island of Giudecca. Often there are three embellishments placed between the six teeth that represent the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.
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. My photographs are not merely a record of what was before my camera, but rather my visualization of the place and time as I remember discovering it, be it a particular mood, impression, or ambiance. These images may bring back memories of your own travels or they might inspire, you in some small way to venture off and maybe discover exciting, new landscapes of your own. 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...
