Louis Jaquet
Piazza San Marco II

1999

About the Item

Impressionist piece depicting the famous and ancient Carnivale in the Piazza di San Marco di Venezia. The scene is set before the iconic Basilica di San Marco, the chief basilica of Venice and the pride of the city. It is here that wealth from Venice's trading empire and many conquests would be displayed as a tribute to God and Christ as well as a testament to the power of Venetian Doges (dukes). Jaquet recreates this by adorning the entire basilica in actual gold. In this Catholic celebration of Carnivale, the city of Venice becomes an unrivalled scene of magic and pageantry as her people are transformed into innumerable characters of stories throughout the ages. The whole city is in engaged in revelry.
