Grand Canal, Venice from Accademia Bridge. A peaceful May afternoon, limpid,tranquil, peaceful. @labiennale @istitutovenezia @visitveneto @veneziaunica @veneziaautentica @educatedtraveller @grand_tourist #art #history #architecture #creativity

Carlos Quintana, Cuban artist re-imagines Venice’s Pantheon @istitutovenezia @palazzoloredan @labiennale covering the heads of marble portrait busts with blue cloth. No face, no sight, no hearing. The installation features numerous skulls made of glass, scattered across the floor. The artist has the fabulous Palazzo Loredan as his workspace. Elegant staircase, magnificent library, polished Venetian floors. Interesting artist in historic, aristocratic Venetian setting. Bravo!
