About the piece

Painted in 1899 by Henri-Edmond Cross, this work employs a sophisticated pointillist technique to depict a bustling canal in Venice. The canvas is a shimmering tapestry of blue, gold, and pink strokes, conveying the warmth of the Italian sun reflecting off the water and the historic architecture with a modern, textural sensibility.
