Venetian Concert, 1792

Francesco de Guardi, Italian (1712-1793)

Alte Pinakothek, Munich

-
Ballroom Scene (after Francesco de Guardi)
-
The world's turned cold.
Naked for the mind
And the eye to be-
-
hold its solitary light
-
As truth once told,
- disenchanted;
-
Touch defined,
Crystalled light the
Mind as glass
-
To its cause, insuf-
- ficiently.
