La Serenissima
Decorative Mural
Oil on wall
14 x 8 ft
1989
© Nick McCann
La Serenissima was inspired by
Byron’s epic 1818 swim from
the Lido along the length of
Venice’s Grand Canal (and the
artist’s emulation in 1988 on the
bicentenary of the Poet’s birth).
The Venetians call their city
‘The Bride of the Sea’,
and Byron’s family crest
featured a mermaid.
The mural is situated in a
property in Nottinghamshire
