Venice in Grey Weather 1882

"Venice in Grey Weather" is an oil painting by John Singer Sargent, created in 1882. It depicts a hazy, atmospheric scene of Venice, Italy, with the iconic Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore in the distance. The foreground is dominated by a line of boats moored along the waterfront, with figures strolling along the quay in the lower right corner. Sargent's masterful use of light and shadow, particularly the muted tones of the grey sky and water, creates a sense of depth and tranquility. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the ephemeral beauty of Venice.
