Palazzo Contarini degli Scrigni, Venice 1885

Andrew Fisher Bunner's "Palazzo Contarini degli Scrigni, Venice" is an 1885 etching depicting a narrow Venetian canal lined by tall buildings. The artist's meticulous line work captures the intricate details of the architecture and the serene atmosphere of the scene. The composition emphasizes the verticality of the buildings, their facades adorned with windows and balconies, while the narrow waterway in the foreground serves as a visual contrast. The etching's delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, making the viewer feel as though they are standing on the canal's edge. This work is a testament to Bunner's mastery of the etching medium and his ability to capture the beauty and architectural grandeur of Venice.
