Venise, Trabaccolo À La Voile Jaune 1870 - 1890

"Venise, Trabaccolo À La Voile Jaune," painted between 1870-1890 by Félix Ziem, captures a serene scene on the Venetian lagoon. Ziem, known for his captivating depictions of Venice, masterfully portrays the city's iconic architecture, including the towering Campanile of San Marco, against a hazy, luminous sky. The centerpiece of the composition is a brightly colored sailing ship, its yellow sails catching the light and creating a vibrant contrast against the soft, pastel tones of the background. This Impressionist work exemplifies Ziem's signature style, characterized by loose brushstrokes, atmospheric effects, and a focus on capturing the fleeting moments of light and color in the Venetian landscape.
