Artist's Description
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. 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...
