Incredible city. 26th wedding Anniversary today. Getting lost in Venice is a given. Ronnie is very good with a map (which is saying something in a circular city with 6,000 higgledy-piggledy lanes and bridges) but he needs his glasses. Without them and with me navigating it is certainly a fun experience. The hotel is yet again fantastic.
We have arrived just in time for the pre - Contemporary Art Biennale. Some exhibits are open to the public already. One on our vaporetto stop is By Oksana Mas 2011, Post vs Pronto Renaissance.
It is a depiction of part of The Ghent Altar Piece in St Bravo Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium by Hubert and Jan Van Eyck in 1432. The snapshot of Virgin Mary is depicted by thousands of eggs (birth symbolism etc) which is each delicately hand painted and attached to the board. From a distance you get the overall picture. He has done 8 of these.
