San Giorgio Maggiore - Venice |
San Giorgio Maggiore - Venice Notes: Work began on the church of San Giorgio Maggiore on the Venetian island of the same name in 1566. In a sense, however, the church "existed" centuries before in the form of a 10th century monastery on the same spot. I decided to leave in the sailboats on the left side notwithstanding their relatively recent design. In a way they connect us to the site, literally and figuratively, as did their ancestral sailing vessels over a thousand years ago.
