Venice is also colour and music (essential elements of theatre), here united in this lovely androgynous lute-player at the foot of Vittorio Carpaccio’s four-metre tall Presentation of Jesus at the Temple (1510), in the Galleria dell’Accademia in Venice. Wonderful reds and blues, and the pink cheeks of the young lutenist - as if embarrassed by the presence of the photographer!
