"Lagune van Venetië" is an etching by Dutch artist Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, created between 1889 and 1902. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a tranquil scene of the Venetian Lagoon. The viewer is presented with a minimalist composition of water, sky, and a few wooden poles emerging from the water, suggesting a calm and serene atmosphere. The etching's delicate lines capture the subtle movement of the water and the soft light of the sky, showcasing 's-Gravesande's masterful technique and keen observation of nature.
