Description / Interpretation:
"In Canaletto’s Venice: Seven graduating seniors from Venice High School, selected to match the demographics of the student body, dressed in period costumes and posed as tourists and gondolier (the school mascot). Their portraits were superimposed on a rendition of a Canaletto painting of the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy." - Rip Cronk. Sponsored by a grant from Venice High School. Photo © Ian Robertson-Salt
