Lot Essay

In the present work Reyna has documented the Squero of San Trovaso - the oldest surviving gondola yard, located in the Southwest of Venice. The workshop, still in operation, is found in a much neglected but intensely reminiscent area of 18th Century Venice in the district of Dorsoduro, not far from the Galleria dell'Accademia.
