Postcard 1900s Venezia Piazza San Marco Venice Italy Color Litho Undivided:
$12.95
Pigeons swirl across the sun-washed stones of the Piazza San Marco as elegantly dressed Venetians — women in pink and gold long skirts, men in dark coats — pause to feed them in this luminous early color lithograph. The gilded Byzantine domes of the Basilica di San Marco crown the background, flanked by the pink-marble arcade of the Doge's Palace and the long colonnaded Procuratie Nuove stretching to the right; a warm blush sky above suggests early evening light. This hand-tinted chromolithograph captures the square at the height of the Belle Époque tourist era, when Piazza San Marco had become the essential pilgrimage for every Grand Tour traveler passing through northern Italy.
