Venise sauvée (Venice Preserved)

About this work

This poster shows a dramatic scene of a woman rising from water, her arms outstretched. Wavy lines swirl around her, almost like waves or wind. To the right, a row of blank faces with hollow eyes stares straight ahead. The text at the top reads *Venise sauvée*, and the bottom lists names and a Paris address. The woman’s flowing hair and flowing lines suggest movement, almost like she’s being pulled upward. The faces on the right look frozen, as if they’re watching something important happen.
