Italian Hours Chapter 1 - Venice Part 3

In which a contemplative wanderer navigates the dim and often inaccessible treasures of Venetian art, from the solemn grandeur of Tintoretto’s Scuola di San Rocco to the radiant vibrancy of Veronese’s masterpieces in the Ducal Palace, meditating on the unique qualities and fading glories of these venerable works. He also finds in the warm June light an invitation to youthful life on the lagoon’s isles and the gentle pleasures of evening by the Grand Canal, where the mingling of sea, sky, and human gaiety evoke a timeless Venetian drama.
