Three gondolas
This 50×70 cm mixed media artwork presents a serene Venetian waterfront view, where gondolas rest quietly at bay directly in front of the Doge’s Palace.
Executed using black ink, gold, and silver leaf on canvas stretched over a wooden chassis, the composition contrasts the soft shimmer of the water with the bold silhouettes of the gondolas and mooring poles.
The distant architecture of San Giorgio Maggiore, rendered in radiant gold accents, rises majestically against a pale sky, offering depth and historical resonance.
The reflective silver leaf captures the gentle movement of the lagoon, lending the scene a sense of calm and timeless elegance. This piece evokes the quiet poetry of Venice’s iconic canals and its enduring allure.
