Venetian Melody 1910

"Venetian Melody" (1910) by Austrian artist Eugen von Blaas depicts a scene of two women on a balcony overlooking the Venetian lagoon. The woman on the right plays a guitar, her joyful expression and the vibrant colors of her clothing creating a sense of lively music. The woman on the left, dressed in a more subdued yellow gown, listens intently, highlighting the intimacy of the moment. This painting is a prime example of von Blaas's mastery of depicting everyday life in Venice, capturing the beauty of the city and its people.
