Venice, Evening, 1863. Creator: Felix Francois Georges Philibert Ziem
Venice, Evening, 1863. A painter of cityscapes, landscapes, Orientalist views, and still lifes in both oil and watercolour, he was exceptionally popular among the aristocracy and middle classes who collected art in the mid-19th century. He holds the honor of being the first living artist whose work was accepted into the Louvre, in 1910. Since then, his contributions to the development of modern art have been eclipsed by members of the canonical avant-garde, and his name has fallen into obscurity

Venice, Evening, 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning watercolor painting by the 19th century French artist Felix Francois Georges Philibert Ziem. The artwork captures the romantic and atmospheric essence of Venice, Italy, a city renowned for its grand architecture and water transport. Ziem, a prolific painter of cityscapes, landscapes, Orientalist views, and still lifes, was highly popular among the aristocracy and middle classes who collected art during this period. He holds the distinction of being the first living artist whose work was accepted into the Louvre in 1910. The painting depicts a serene Venetian scene with the Grand Canal in the background, framed by the dark silhouettes of ancient buildings. The setting sun casts a warm, orange glow over the water, reflecting off the shimmering surface and creating a sense of tranquility. Boats, including gondolas and sailboats, dot the canal, adding to the bustling activity of the scene. The artist's use of color and brushwork creates a textured and atmospheric background, while the people in the foreground add a sense of life and movement to the composition. The painting is a watercolor over graphite underdrawing on cream moderately thick moderately textured wove paper, and the intricate details and subtle shading showcase Ziem's mastery of the medium. This artwork is a beautiful representation of the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 19th century and a testament to Ziem's contributions to the development of modern art. The Walters Art Museum is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty of Venice and the artistry of Felix Francois Georges Philibert Ziem.
