Visions of Venice Original Etchings, Lithographs & Woodcuts
Showing June 6 - August 2, 2008
Spanning over one hundred islands along Italy's Adriatic shore, the city of Venice is one of the most picturesque locations in Europe. An early center of printing and a perennial art world capital, Venice has long attracted the eyes of artists eager to pay homage to its moonlit canals and unique architecture. During June and July, the Antique Print Department will present a group of original etchings, lithographs and woodcuts around the theme of Venice. Artists represented include John Taylor Arms, Joseph Pennell, Nelson Dawson, David Young Cameron, and Carl Thiemann.
The prints in this exhibition are no longer available for purchase through Davidson Galleries. This page is for reference only.
