Italian Masks
2017
Venice, Italy

Step into the mystique of Carnevale di Venezia with this captivating close-up of traditional Venetian masks. Intricately designed and steeped in history, these masks have been a symbol of anonymity, elegance, and artistic expression since the 11th century. Once worn to transcend social and political boundaries, they became icons of the Renaissance, embodying the grandeur and secrecy of Venetian culture.

Perfect for lovers of art, history, and travel, this stunning photograph captures the opulence and allure of Italy’s world-famous Carnival. A timeless piece for your home, office, or gallery, it invites you to revel in the magic of Venice’s most enchanting tradition.

Italian Masks is printed using traditional high-quality methods. It will be printed on Kodak’s Metallic Photographic paper. I use this paper for most of my prints since I love the little glitter that it adds. Kodak’s Endura Metallic paper can put so much “pop” in the enlargements that they’ll look as if they were taken in 3D! The secret behind this amazing paper is literally behind the picture! Kodak has placed a silvery metallic surface under the dye image. This layer acts like a mirror, reflecting the light illuminating the front of the print back through the dyes. The result is a brilliant, almost translucent effect that can be far brighter than conventional enlargements. This paper is also stable in that it lasts 100 years in a typical home display, 200 years in dark storage and 1 to 5 years for commercial display (Quoted from Kodak’s Spec sheet).
