Venice, a view of St Mark’s Square

Marco Grubacs (Austrian, unknown)

Sunlight glints off the canals, casting rippling reflections on St. Mark’s Square. The basilica’s domes rise against a sky streaked with soft clouds, while gondolas bob gently near the waterfront. Venice hums with life, its grandeur and bustle frozen in a single, luminous moment.
La Giudecca, Venice (1896)

Karl Kaufmann (Austrian, 1843–1905)

Sunlight glints off the canal, casting rippling reflections on weathered brick facades. A lone gondola drifts past the quiet docks of Giudecca, its wake disturbing the still water. The island’s sleepy charm lingers in the warm hues of fading afternoon light. Venice breathes softly here, away from the crowds.
A Moonlight Scene, Venice (1879)

Edward John Poynter (English, 1836–1919)

Moonlight glints on the Grand Canal, casting long shadows across quiet stone. Gondolas drift in the hush, their dark shapes barely stirring the water. The city’s usual bustle has melted into stillness, leaving only the pale glow of lamps and the whisper of oars against the night.
Santa Maria Della Salute, Venice

Konstantin Ivanovich Gorbatov (Russian, 1876–1945)

Gondolas glide past Santa Maria della Salute’s white domes, their reflections trembling in the canal. Sunlight catches the church’s baroque curves, turning stone to gold against Venice’s watery blues. The city breathes here—salt air, lapping waves, centuries of footsteps echoing across marble steps.
Venice, Colourful Prints

Rubens Santoro (Italian, 1859–1941)

Gondolas glide past sunlit facades, their reflections rippling in the canal. The water shimmers with hues of ochre and coral, mirroring the weathered buildings. A fleeting play of light and color transforms the ordinary into something alive. Venice breathes here, vibrant and fleeting.
Palaces on the Grand Canal in Venice

Hercules Brabazon Brabazon (English, 1821–1906)

Sunlight glints off the Grand Canal, casting rippling reflections on weathered palace facades. The water’s movement blurs stone and sky, softening Venice’s grandeur into something fleeting, almost dreamlike. Boats drift past, their wakes stirring the colors into a liquid dance of gold and ochre.
