About the Artist

Félix Ziem

Félix Ziem (1821–1911), French, Known for his vivid depictions of Venice and the Mediterranean, he blended classical composition with a loose, expressive brushstroke. His love for travel deeply shaped his style, often capturing coastal scenes bathed in warm light. Widely admired in his time, he was one of the few artists who achieved both critical and commercial success during the 19th century.

Artwork Story

This painting reflects Ziem’s fascination with Venice, capturing a peaceful waterside scene near the city. The gentle ripples, fluid reflections, and golden hues evoke a serene atmosphere typical of his Venetian works.

Ziem’s masterful use of light and movement transforms the scene into a poetic tribute to the city’s quiet outskirts. The composition balances structure and spontaneity, highlighting his unique position between academic tradition and early impressionism.
