The Giudecca from The Zatteri, Venice 

Eugène Boudin, a French painter known for his plein air seascapes, captured the beauty of Venice in "The Giudecca from The Zatteri, Venice." The painting depicts a view of the Giudecca island from the Zatteri, a floating platform used for loading and unloading goods. Boudin's loose brushstrokes and light palette create a sense of atmosphere and movement, highlighting the interplay of light and water. The distant cityscape of Venice, dominated by the towering bell tower of San Giorgio Maggiore, is a testament to Boudin's mastery of capturing architectural details and creating a sense of depth. The calm waters of the Venetian lagoon are disrupted only by the gentle movement of small boats, adding a touch of life to the serene scene.
