Pre-war Venice in color photographs by Bernard Eilers

By Pictolic https://www.pictolic.com/article/pre-war-venice-in-color-photographs-by-bernard-eilers.htmlNot so long ago we had a post about color photographs of Italy in 1938 (see the link below). An endless series of banners, standards and people in all kinds of uniforms. Magnificent attributes of semi-operatic totalitarianism. After that, it is doubly surprising to see color photographs of the same time taken in 1936-38 in Venice by the Dutch photographer Bernard Eilers (who used the same method as Prokudin-Gorsky). A city opens up before us out of time, in which almost nothing betrays the epoch. And we understand that behind the colorful fake decorations of fascism, the same eternal Italy was hiding, which no political regime can change.
