Hughie O'Donoghue arrived in Venice for the 3rd AIPP residency, armed with Ruskins ' Stones of Venice', and the intention of finding numerous sculptural fragments in the city with which he could use as touchstones for subjects.
In the event three main sculptures generated enough imagery for all that he did. The Lion of St. Marks; a relief of the Green Man, set into the wall of the scuola, and an early fifteenth century sculpture of the Drunkenness of Noah, which inhabits the corner of the Doge's Palace, by the Ponte della Paglia.
taken from the essay by Craig Hartley, curator of Prints & Drawings, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
