Fondamenta delle Zattere 1880

Otto Henry Bacher's "Fondamenta delle Zattere" (1880) is a black and white etching that captures the bustling atmosphere of a Venetian canal. The print depicts a line of large ships docked along the canal, their sails billowing in the wind. In the foreground, a small boat with two oarsmen can be seen, adding a sense of scale and perspective to the scene. The artist's use of bold lines and deep shadows creates a sense of depth and realism, giving viewers a glimpse into the daily life of Venice during this period. The print is a testament to Bacher's skill as an etcher and his ability to capture the beauty and energy of his surroundings.
