- Sometimes it seems Venice will go on fire,
such is the brilliance of her light while the
sun is shining at its brightest. Every dome
and statue and sculpture seems to be set
ablaze with light and colour.
The water sparkles like jewels on an
already-rich piece of jewellery. Shapes,
sound, light, and shade, chiaroscuro, colour,
texture, perspective, harmony and contrast
all need to be captured in a synergous manner
to adequately represent the spirit of Venice.
White marble buildings seem to turn blue in
certain lights and skies turn red and yellow,
and the canal turns a blood-red colour.
