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.
