Venice, a mosaic of over 100 islands, many connected by the 400 bridges which span its famous canals, is possibly the most romantic city in the world. It began as a village in the marshes and grew into a formidable sea power, dubbed the Queen of the Adriatic. Now its fading glories - the canals and palaces, monuments and churches - battle with the elements, yet remain breathtakingly beautiful. Artist Fabrice Moireau showcases Venice's grand attractions and hidden charms through his watercolour paintings and pencil sketches.
