Venice Through Artists' Eyes
Venice has seduced artists for five centuries, from Canaletto's precision to Turner's revolutionary light, from Monet's impressions to Paul Flora's melancholic carnival scenes. This floating marvel offers the perfect marriage of human achievement and natural impossibility. Flora's 1988 Serenissima Collection captures the last major artistic statement about Venice before the digital age. For collectors, Venetian art commands premium prices because it sells dreams, offering accessible entry into grand artistic tradition.
The Soul of the Print
Hand-pulled prints carry the direct imprint of the artist's touch, making each impression a unique original. From 15th-century woodcuts to contemporary innovations, artists embraced printmaking for new expressive possibilities. Featured masters Paul Flora, Božena Augustínová, and Gary Boyle demonstrate how hand-produced prints offer something irreplaceable: evidence of human presence and craft. For collectors, these works represent both aesthetic pleasure and sound investment in our increasingly digital world.
Paul Flora & the mystery of venice
Austrian master Paul Flora (1922-2009) was one of Europe's most celebrated illustrators, transforming simple line work into profound commentary on the human condition. His Venice series, particularly the 1988 Serenissima Collection, captures the city wrapped in melancholy and mystery. Flora's prints consistently perform well at auction, offering collectors the perfect combination of artistic merit and investment potential ~ ideal for both seasoned collectors and those beginning their fine art journey.
