Claude Hemeret was born May 23, 1929. After studying at the National School of Decorative Arts, he began in 1952 a career as an illustrator for major publishing houses. From 1966 he devoted himself exclusively to painting. An international career. Claude HEMERET also creates lithographs, Aubusson tapestries and created porcelain plates edited by Haviland Limoges.

The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. The rowing oar, which is not fastened to the hull, is used in a sculling manner, also acting as the rudder. For centuries the gondola was the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice.
