Wondrous Possessions is an exhibition of exquisite images, created on 4×5” film in the historic palazzi constructed by the Gonzaga family in Mantua, Italy; the Palazzo Ducale, Palazzo Te and Palazzo San Sebastiano, as well as the state archives, Archivio di Stato di Mantova. The images were hand-printed at Colour Factory and exhibited in Prato, Italy in mid May 2010. Colour Factory Gallery is very pleased to present these photo masterpieces, illustrating photography at its finest.
