Gondels in Venetië 1884 - 1952

"Gondels in Venetië" is a woodcut print by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries (1874-1952). The artwork depicts two gondolas in Venice, with their distinctive shape and ornate details captured in the bold black and white lines of the woodcut. The rippling water in the foreground is also rendered in the same simplistic, yet striking, style, creating a visual harmony in the composition. The artwork was created sometime between 1884 and 1952, showcasing De Vries' artistic journey. The use of woodcut and the subject matter are typical of the artistic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when there was a renewed interest in traditional printmaking techniques.
