{"product_id":"italy-veneto-lido-tempio-votivo-waterfront-architecture-black-and-white-wall-art","title":"Venice Lido Waterfront Photography Print | Black and White","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis black and white Venice Lido photography print shows the dome of the Tempio Votivo above lagoon-side buildings and trees. I offer the Italian waterfront photograph as wall art in a choice of print sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dome gives this shoreline its centre of gravity. Around it, trees and waterfront buildings form a lower, irregular line, while the water opens up the foreground. I photographed this view of the Tempio Votivo on Venice’s Lido in 2005, drawn to the way one strong architectural shape could hold together a whole stretch of waterfront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wanted the setting to remain part of the photograph. Pulling back gave the temple room among the surrounding buildings instead of isolating it as a single monument. Its rounded dome and upright columns stand clearly above the treeline, but the smaller structures along the shore contribute their own rhythm of roofs, windows and shaded walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, a series of markers breaks up the rippled surface of the lagoon. Their spacing leads the eye across the water toward the shore, creating a quieter counterpoint to the detail in the architecture. The grey sky gives the dome a simple backdrop and leaves the waterfront as the busiest part of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and white brings those relationships forward. I’m interested in the contrast between the temple’s ordered form and the softer textures of foliage and water, and in how much breathing room this view allows. It preserves a side of Venice I appreciate: architecture seen within an everyday waterfront, with enough distance to take in the scene as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2005\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"8 × 20 inches (20.3 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40058187546703,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 × 24 inches (25.4 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40965125963855,"sku":"","price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Venice-Lido-Waterfront-Black-and-White-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792375903","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/italy-veneto-lido-tempio-votivo-waterfront-architecture-black-and-white-wall-art","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
