Artist in Venice

An artist’s illustrated love letter to the Italian city of Venice. If you can’t wait to see the Italian city of Venice for the first time or to return, you'll be captivated by this journey. Adam Van Doren has created a verbal and visual account of his love affair with the city. His story is personal; like other artists, he sees the city with and through his own eyes and laces his tour with information, opinion, and notes.

Adam Van Doren received a Master’s in architecture from Columbia University and has been a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome. He teaches at Yale University and has exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., among other institutions. His work is included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Wadsworth Atheneum, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Simon Winchester is the New York Times best-selling author of The Professor and the Madman. His recent titles include Atlantic and The Men Who United the States. Winchester was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to journalism and literature.
