Venetian Gondolas – Timeless Elegance on the Canals
Step into the heart of Venice with Venetian Gondolas, a captivating photographic artwork by Jaime Dormer that celebrates the iconic gondola, a symbol of the city’s charm and history. These elegant watercraft have graced the canals of Venice for centuries, evolving from humble beginnings as everyday transportation to their current status as a quintessential part of Venetian culture.
Today, gondolas carry visitors through the labyrinth of canals, offering a unique perspective of the city’s architectural beauty and romantic atmosphere. Once numbering in the thousands, there are now approximately 400 licensed gondoliers operating these sleek, handcrafted vessels, each a work of art in its own right. Dormer’s lens captures the essence of this timeless tradition, from the glimmering waters of the Grand Canal to the craftsmanship and poise of the gondolas gliding beneath arched bridges.
Jaime Dormer reflects on this enduring Venetian icon:
"Standing by the Grand Canal, I was mesmerised by the gondolas’ graceful movements, each stroke of the oar like a step back in time. These boats, with their polished elegance, carry the whispers of centuries past, blending the romance of Venice with the artistry of its present. Capturing this scene felt like capturing the soul of a city."

Framing the Image
Frame Details:
The photograph is presented in an elegant, contemporary frame designed to elevate and preserve the artwork. It is encased in a prestige white Majorca moulding, complemented by clarity UV70 glass to ensure protection against light exposure. The use of double acid-free white matting, accented by a Dawsons hand-made dark oaka linen and a silver fillet, provides a refined contrast that enhances the photograph’s vivid colors and depth.
The image is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a museum-quality 100% cotton paper that brings out the photograph's rich tones and details. To protect and maintain the integrity of the print, three coatings of Hahnemühle protective surface spray have been meticulously applied in a crosshatch pattern.
