Venice, Rebuilding the Campanile 1911

"Venice, Rebuilding the Campanile" is a 1911 lithograph by American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926). The print depicts the iconic Campanile of St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy, as it was being rebuilt following its collapse in 1902. Pennell masterfully captures the scene, with detailed renderings of the scaffolding and the bustling activity in the square. This piece showcases Pennell's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the energy and vibrancy of urban life through the medium of printmaking. It stands as a testament to both the historical significance of the Campanile and Pennell's artistic skill.
