Gondel komt aanvaren in het Canal Grande, Venetië c. 1914 - 1919

This etching by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, created between 1914 and 1919, depicts a gondola arriving in the Grand Canal of Venice. Witsen's artwork is a stunning example of etching, a printmaking technique that uses acid to create an image on a metal plate. The soft tones of the image, particularly the pale grays and blues, give the artwork a delicate and romantic feel, capturing the beauty of the Venetian canals and the charm of the gondolas. The artwork is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
