One of Europe's most beautiful cities is celebrated through the talents of artist Fabrice Moireau.

Venice Sketchbook brings to life the enchanting allure of Venice, a mosaic of over 100 islands connected by the iconic 400 bridges spanning its famous canals. Often referred to as the most romantic city in the world, Venice evolved from a modest village in marshlands to a formidable sea power known as the Queen of the Adriatic.

Today, the city’s fading gloriesβ€”its canals and palaces, monuments and churchesβ€”battle against the elements yet remain breathtakingly beautiful. Artist Fabrice Moireau captures both Venice's grand attractions and its hidden charms with exquisite watercolour paintings and pencil sketches, ensuring its magic endures.
