A ‘Virtual Event’ at the Boston Athenaeum by John Buchtel, Curator of Rare Books and Head of Special Collections, featuring my book Venice Reflections

In October 2017, I experienced the delights of Venice, sketched and took many reference photographs and then set about the task of trying to recapture that Venetian magic. Twenty nine paintings and twelve months later, Venice Reflections emerged, a very personal record of my interaction with the city. The text is comprised of extracts from the classic Venice by Jan Morris.
