Gondels 1598

"Gondels" is a woodcut illustration by Christoph Krieger created in 1598. This artwork depicts two gondolas on a canal in Venice, Italy, showcasing the city's unique transportation method. The detailed engraving highlights the gondolas' ornate designs and the skilled gondoliers navigating the waterways. The scene captures the bustling atmosphere of Venice in the late 16th century, with buildings and a bridge framing the background. The composition emphasizes the gondolas as the central focus, demonstrating Krieger's ability to depict everyday life through meticulous detail. The small size of the artwork, measuring 167mm by 125mm, suggests it may have been a part of a larger publication, possibly a travelogue or book about Venice.
