Venice 1925

"Venice" (1925) is a watercolor painting by Scottish artist James McBey (1883-1959). This work, executed in McBey's characteristic loose style, depicts a vibrant scene in the heart of Venice. Several gondolas are moored in the water, with the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica visible in the background. The painting is characterized by its expressive brushstrokes and the artist's skillful use of light and shadow. The reflection of the gondolas in the water creates a sense of depth and movement, adding to the dynamic composition.
