The metropolitan city of Venice, with its enchanting canals and rich history, is a true masterpiece. As you wander through the city's labyrinthine streets, you'll come across stunning works of art that capture the essence of this unique place. One such artwork is "First of the Month's Sculptures, " depicting St Mark's Square in 1840. This delicate pencil and watercolor on card painting transports you back in time to witness the bustling activity that has long characterized this iconic square. Another notable piece is "Christ and the Adulteress, " an oil on canvas painting from around 1508-10. This powerful depiction showcases Venetian Renaissance art at its finest, capturing both emotional depth and exquisite detail. For a different perspective, feast your eyes upon "View of San Giorgio Maggiore" from approximately 1760. Painted in oil on canvas, this artwork offers a serene view of one of Venice's most famous landmarks bathed in soft light. "The Giudecca with S. Giorgio Maggiore" takes us to Venice in 1857 through a captivating watercolor on paper composition. The artist skillfully captures the playfulness between gondolas navigating the waters surrounding these architectural wonders. At sunset, Santa Maria della Salute Basilica steals the spotlight as seen from Ponte della Accademia (Accademia Bridge). The warm hues reflected upon calm waters create an ethereal atmosphere that leaves visitors breathless. Venturing beyond the main islands lies Cemetery Island (San Michele), depicted in a delicate watercolor on paper from 1903. This tranquil scene invites contemplation amidst nature's beauty while paying homage to those who rest here eternally. Inspired by J. M. W Turner's work, "Landscape after Turner’s The Dogana, San Giorgio Citella" presents an imaginative interpretation using watercolor, body color, and pencil on paper.
