Veduta del Canal Grande verso la Punta della Dogana, da Campo San Ivo, Canaletto (Italian, 1697–1768)
Pavel Antokolsky, tr. by Bernard Meares, from “Ballad of the Wondrous Moment,”
can you believe that the most human trait there is is art? we didn't start making art because it was needed for our survival or it helped us mate or hunt…. we make art for the sake of making it and for you and other people to enjoy it. this is why I love literature and art museums or just looking through my old sketches and stories…. making art is what it means to be human I think.
“This is a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again.” -Alexander McCall Smith
“Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind!”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
