Le triomphe de Saint Georges Majeur 

"Le triomphe de Saint Georges Majeur" is a depiction of a festive procession through St. Mark's Square in Venice by French artist Félix Ziem. This romanticized view of the city's vibrant culture is captured in soft, luminous brushstrokes characteristic of Ziem's signature style. The painting showcases the grand architecture of the Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Basilica, and the bustling activity of the square with figures and colorful flags. The scene is bathed in the warm light of the setting sun, adding a sense of drama and grandeur to the spectacle. Ziem's work, known for its vivid interpretations of Venetian life and its luminous light, is considered a quintessential example of Orientalism in painting.
