Venice #1: Palazzo Fortuny - A journey through time ... A must visit for art lovers
A journey through time
It was when I got separated from my Venice tour, so I walked around the streets thinking If I should do a gondola ride, since it was a bit expensive for a single person. And I stumbled upon this place – Palazzo Fortuny.

Palazzo Fortuny - Once owned by the Pesaro family, this Gothic building in Campo San Beneto, near the church of the same name, was transformed by Mariano Fortuny into his own photography, stage-design, textile-design and painting atelier. Source
Paradise for art lovers
The building from the outside looked Gothic -style, not sure what was to expect, I went inside with not much hope. As soon as I entered, it felt like a completely different world, it was an artist’s paradise with a rich and varied art collection from statues, to textiles, architecture, paintings, and much more.

The place is a perfect intersection of art, design, and architecture.. But what excited me most was the paintings and the Delphos gowns. I have admired them since the time I read about the finely pleated Delphos gown from the ancient Greek sculptures and I can see it close, it was beyond anything for me!

The dress was inspired by the Hellenistic classical sculpture of the Charioteer of Delphi, discovered in 1896.
You enter a dark room, and from the first glance, the paintings capture your eyes and thoughts. It is a mysterious place, and so much to see, the walls are adorned with rich tapestry, and paintings, the space with a collection of paintings and sculpture, furnishing lamps, theatre models, the famous Delphos and theatre costumes. Every single artwork is a masterpiece in itself which cannot be missed. you can't help but marvel at these incredible work of arts.

I would recommend anyone going to Venice to include this if you are even remotely interested in the arts.
The collections within the museum comprise an extensive number of pieces and materials which reflect the various fields investigated in the artist’s work. These are organized under certain specific headings: painting, light, photography, and textiles.
• Painting: there are around 150 paintings by Mariano Fortuny, which illustrate the various phases of his career as an artist, where the Wagnerian period (until 1899) holds a central place.
• Light: the main focus of Fortuny’s work was light design, perfectly identified with the creation of the celebrated theatre dome.
• Photography: photographs exhibited were taken either from the collection left by Mariano Fortuny or from the Musei Civici di Venezia's collection, comprising works from 1850 to the Second World War, in a rich variety of styles, techniques, and historic images.
• Fabrics: the collection of clothes, fabrics, prints, materials and ornamental clothes make up a rich sample of Fortuny’s work in the field of fabrics and fashion design, in which the artist took ornamental motifs and reinterpreted them in a modern decorative style. Source
