Molo 1925

"Molo" is a 1925 etching by the British artist James McBey (1883-1959), known for his evocative depictions of cityscapes and landscapes. The artwork captures a bird's-eye view of a Venetian waterfront, showcasing a row of gondolas moored along the shore. A distant cityscape, likely Venice, frames the scene, with a prominent church or basilica in the background. The composition emphasizes the intricate details of the boats, creating a sense of movement and activity. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading contribute to the artwork's overall sense of atmosphere and place.
