The Venice Globe (2022)

Take a ride on a gondola through the waterways of Venice in this hand drawn cityscape by Ben Staves

Ah Venice... This magical city with its maze of interconnected canals, arching bridges, tiny piazzas and hidden treasures has enchanted visitors for generations. 

This one of a kind city could have been plucked straight from the imagination of a great fantasy author and has no doubt inspired countless writers, artists and poets over the years. 

Here in Ben Staves' interpretation you can see the latest piece of artwork to be inspired by this beautiful floating city.

With a focus on the elegant, curving Grand Canal and bustling Rialto Bridge, this hand drawn illustration brings together so many wonderfully unique Venetian features. Look out for the towering campaniles and domes of the churches and basilicas dotted around the city in amongst the terracotta rooftops. You'll also be able to spot the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa, the Bridge of Sighs and the Piazza San Marco.

Framing Options

All our prints include a mountboard border and a backboard. This is sealed in a protective sleeve and delivered flat, ready to frame. Mountboards are cut to fit standard sized frames but are not stuck down to the artwork, meaning they can be removed without damaging the print beneath. International orders will be sent rolled in a poster tube without a mountboard border.

We also offer a choice of three framing options which can be selected from the drop down menu. Framed prints are made to order and sent in custom made protective packaging consisting of an inner tray, foam wrap and an outer cardboard box. They also include hangers, care instructions and a cleaning cloth. Please allow up to 10 working days for framed delivery.
