Venice. Memory 1918

Boris Kustodiev's 1918 painting "Venice. Memory" showcases a captivating scene viewed through an arched doorway. The artist's brushstrokes capture the vibrant atmosphere of Venice, with figures dressed in white strolling along the water's edge, their elegance contrasting with the muted tones of the arched structure. The scene is framed by the columns of the archway, drawing the viewer's eye to the distant cityscape and the tranquil waters of the lagoon. Kustodiev's signature style, characterized by bold colors and expressive brushwork, evokes the beauty and nostalgia of Venice.
