EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The old woman and the cats of Venice" we are transported to a serene scene in the beautiful city of Venice. The focal point of the image is an elderly woman, seated on a bench, engrossed in her task of feeding a group of cats that have gathered around her. Her caring nature shines through as she ensures these feline companions are well-fed and content. To shield herself from the sun's rays, the wise old woman has covered her head with a delicate handkerchief, adding to her charm and grace. It is evident that she understands the importance of self-care even amidst her act of kindness towards these animals. In the background, two men stand at a railing overlooking the picturesque lagoon. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot, reminding us that life continues beyond our immediate focus. Perhaps they too appreciate witnessing this heartwarming interaction between humans and animals. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also tells stories about various aspects of life - from urban landscapes to fashion choices and architectural details. It encapsulates themes such as old age, individuality, and physiological connections between humans and animals. Taken around 1960 by Leiss Ferruccio for Alinari's collection on exterior furnishings for civic spaces, it serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of everyday life in Venice during that era. "The old woman and the cats of Venice" invites viewers into its world where compassion transcends boundaries – be it species or generations – leaving us with a sense of warmth and admiration for acts rooted in love for all living beings.
