EDITORS COMMENTS
This bird's-eye view of Venice, dated 1338, offers a unique perspective of the Italian city as it was over 700 years ago. The image, titled "Venice - Marco Polo 1338," showcases the architectural grandeur of the city from a vantage point high above. At the heart of the composition lies the iconic Piazza San Marco, with its stunning basilica and the Doge's Palace, both adorned with intricate Gothic details. Marco Polo, the renowned Venetian merchant and traveler, is depicted in the scene, standing at the edge of the piazza, preparing to embark on his historic journey into Asia. The vast expanse of the Venetian lagoon and the Adriatic Sea can be seen in the background, with the Dogana, the customs house, standing sentinel at the entrance to the Grand Canal. The intricate details of the buildings and the bustling activity in the piazza convey a sense of vibrant life and the rich cultural heritage of Venice during the 14th century. This evocative image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of Venice during the time of one of its most famous sons, Marco Polo.
