Venice Possibly 1894 - 1934

"Venice" is a striking black and white photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, taken sometime between 1894 and 1934. The image captures a narrow canal in Venice, with a single gondola moored on the left. The composition is dominated by the reflection of the buildings and sky in the water, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Stieglitz, a leading figure in the Pictorialist movement, is known for his evocative and poetic photographs, and "Venice" is a prime example of his artistic vision. The photograph's intimate scale and focus on the interplay of light and shadow invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and serenity of the Venetian scene.
