Salvador Dali Homage to Venice

Homage to Venice

Venice is a city in northeast Italy sited on a group of 118 small
islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, and is a top
destination for travlers and tourists.

The name Venice is derived from the ancient Veneti people
who inhabited the region by the 10th century B.C.
Dali and his wife Gala traveled to Venice for vacation with
Coco Chanel and others.
Venice was a favorite spot for Dali as he was influenced by its
architecture and its artworks, and inspired a number of well
known works including this one.

The print shown is embossed.
Here is an image of a portion of the back of the print to show some
of the indented portions of the image thus creating more a
painted look.
