Street in Venice 1882

"Street in Venice" (1882) by John Singer Sargent depicts a narrow, cobblestone street in Venice, Italy. A woman in a dark coat and white skirt walks down the center of the street, while two figures, partially obscured by shadows, converse at the right. The composition emphasizes the strong verticality of the buildings lining the street, creating a sense of depth and enclosure. This impressionistic work is characteristic of Sargent's style, which often featured bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and a focus on capturing fleeting moments of everyday life.
