Sarah Hadley
On the Lagoon

2006/2023

About the Item

Lost Venice highlights the Renaissance past of a city that Hadley visited often as a child and where she later lived and worked. Her ethereal, sepia-toned photographs capture the allure of this magical city. Focusing her lens on the city’s timeless architecture and ever-changing waterways, Hadley evokes an otherworldly place, one filled with grace and extraordinary beauty. Hadley first lived in Venice in her twenties and has said of the city “The Venice I photograph speaks to the majesty of the place, but also to the supernatural and surrealism of it as well. I resisted shooting traditional views of gondolas on the Grand Canal, as I wanted to show glimpses of dark and hidden corners of this Renaissance stage set that can only be found late at night or on the foggy days of winter. “My work deals with the idea that Venice is a beautiful illusion, and shows an ethereal and mythic city, one caught between this world and the next; a dying city whose swan song is beautiful, but tragic. Venice is a city clinging to a bygone era and whose foundations are slowly eroding, but one whose opulence and allure is still powerful and transformative.” Printed on Archival Canson Platine Paper by the Artist. This size comes in an Edition of 5, (with only 3 remaining), signed and with a certificate of authenticity.
