Description from the seller

Palazzo Ducale at night – a reinterpretation by Slasky
Inspired by Canaletto

The famous Palazzo Ducale of Venice, usually depicted by Canaletto in its luminous and perspectival perfection, is transformed into a nocturnal vision. The majestic façade emerges from the darkness, reflected in the still waters of the lagoon, but an unexpected detail breaks the tradition: on the roof cornice, a pink neon sign displays the words 'Wish you were here.'

Artificial light spreads unreal glows, caresses the columns, and reflects on the water, tinting the scene with a melancholic contemporary electricity. The palace, eternal symbol of the Serenissima, becomes the stage for a dialogue between past and present: the solemn architecture meets pop culture and urban nostalgia, transforming into a poetic and ironic manifesto at the same time.

In this reinterpretation, the nocturne is no longer just a simple atmospheric exercise but becomes an emotional experience: Canaletto's Venice lights up with a neon that speaks to the contemporary traveler, suspended between historical memory and the desire for presence.


Giclée on Hahnemühle 350g paper + certificate of authenticity


Art is not about representing new things, but about representing them with novelty.

Slasky is a recognized Italian artist whose works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions internationally.

The artist has the ability to blend classical works of art with contemporary digital art techniques. With his neo urban style, he combines tradition and modernity, bringing the protagonists of the original artworks into contemporary social and artistic environments.
