Hague Historical Cafe
Every third Friday of the month, the Hague Historical Café offers an interesting program at the Haagse Kunstkring.
Program for Friday, September 18:
The Padre Twins
Book launch Street Saints Venice, Street Saints Venice, Santi di Strada Venezia
Because of the high level of interest, not everyone who wanted to attend the first book presentation on June 30 was able to do so; therefore, a second presentation will be held on Friday, September 25.
Maarten van Noort explores all aspects of the trilingual *Street Saints of Venice*.
Street Saints of Venice is a unique photo book. Maarten van Noort photographed all of Venice’s street shrines. The book devotes a full page to each of the more than one hundred most beautiful ones, while nearly one hundred others are depicted in small format. An introductory essay provides a cultural-historical interpretation of the phenomenon and relates it to a number of well-known 18th-century cityscapes by artists such as Canaletto. In addition, the book serves as a unique walking guide for exploring the city on foot.
On September 25, the book will be available at a discounted price of €25.
Admission is free. Please let us know in advance if you plan to attend by emailing mnoort@xs4all.n
