Collection of the Venezia’s Palaces and Churches on the Gran Canal, drawings by Mario Eremita
The artist Mario Eremita made this collection of more than fifty india ink drawings during two years of work.
They are the the front elevations of the architectural works that ovelook the Venezia’s Gran Canal. These drawings reproduce these true monuments with the artist’s unmistakable style, each with its own history and mysteries.
The Gran Canal and its architecture e la sua architettura are certainly among the most important riches of italian culture and civilization.
Mario Eremita has graphically reconstructed all those works that were once the business cards of important and wealthy families of venetian merchants and nobles, emulating the spirit of Renaissance artists who were all fascinated by architecture. This architecture was also the symbol of the military power and Christian loyalty of its inhabitants.
Even though they look alike, each one architecture reveals, thanks to the artist’s style, its particular and unique energy which originates from the talent of ancient architects, master stonecutters and carpenters who built them, enhancing the beauty of this immortal city.
