Venedig - Canale Grande 1929

"Venedig - Canale Grande" (1929) by Nicola Perscheid (1864-1930) is a black and white photograph capturing a moment of quietude on the Grand Canal in Venice. The image shows a narrow canal framed by tall buildings, with two figures in gondolas, creating a sense of tranquility and isolation. The use of shadow and light, characteristic of Perscheid's work, adds depth and drama to the scene, highlighting the architectural details of the Venetian buildings. Perscheid, known for his atmospheric photographs of Italy, masterfully captures the city's unique charm in this evocative print.
