Peggy Guggenheim’s irreverence and sense of humour is evident from this 1948 Marino Marini sculpture presiding over the canal side entrance to her old home: Palazzo Venier de Leoni (Now home to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection).
The bronze male nude astride a horse is hardly what you would expect to be titled ‘Angel of the City’!
Serious scrutiny……
Amusement…
Oops…the twist!
Have a fun weekend you all!
What a surprise!
It certainly was!! 😀
That is quite the twist. I like how you set up the photos. 🙂
Thanks David. Have missed your stories. Shall be over to catch up tomorrow. Off to bed now, it is past 2 am! 🙂
Short and amusing write up. Makes the Angel a visit next time in Venice.
