About The Artwork
Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti is a palace in Venice, Italy, not far from the Ponte dell'Accademia and next to the Palazzo Barbaro on the Grand Canal of Venice. Since 1999 it has been the seat of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere e Arti and frequently houses cultural events. The palace was erected in 1565. In the 19th century it was internally modernised and externally enriched in Venetian Gothic style, with rich window framing, by a series of grand owners. The first neo-Gothic improvements were made after 1840, when the young Archduke Frederick Ferdinand of Austria (1821–1847) reassembled the property, the Palazzo Cavalli-Gussoni,[1] which had become divided among heirs, and embarked on a complex project intended to give a more prominent Habsburg presence along the Grand Canal, as Austria-Hungary had been awarded the territories of Venice after the Napoleonic Wars. At his premature death, unmarried, in 1847 the palazzo was bought by Henri, comte de Chambord, styled "Henri V" by Bourbon legitimists,[2] who entrusted further restorations to Giambattista Meduna; his portrait on the balcony, with Santa Maria Della Salute in the background, is in the Palazzo Ducale, Modena.[3] In 1878 Baron Raimondo Franchetti (1829–1905),[4] who had married Sarah Luisa de Rothschild (1834–1924), daughter of Anselm Salomon Rothschild of the Vienna Rothschilds, bought the palazzo and commissioned further works by architect Camillo Boito, who constructed the grand staircase. In September 1922 it was sold to the Istituto Federale di Credito per il Risorgimento delle Venezie by Franchetti's widow. From Wikipedia, Notes

I had been an avid collector of photography and a photographer for the past 25 years. My artistic interests derived mainly from the works of painters such as Edward Hopper and John Sloan, from the master street photographers such as Cartier-Bresson, Kertesz, Walker Evans, and from the color photography of Eggleston. Christenberry, Stephen Shore, and Michael Eastman. I have traveled extensively photographing people, places, and both urban and natural landscapes striving to capture the beauty and soul of the subjects and places. I photograph and print both in color and black and white. Family and friends had always encouraged me to display and sell my work. Several years ago, after practicing and teaching law for more than 40 years, I decided to pursue photography on a professional basis to do this in conjunction with forming a company and becoming a seller and dealer in fine photography. In 2013, I became counsel to Capes, Sokol, St. Louis, Missouri (Capessokol.com), where I continue to practice on a limited basis, and devote the remainder of my time to my business and community interests. For several years, I taught photography in an inner city after school program, and otherwise actively participate in photography and the arts. I am currently serving on the Board of the International Photography Hall of Fame located here in St. Louis.
