About the piece
This mid-19th-century oil painting captures a vibrant nocturnal celebration on Venice's Grand Canal. Dozens of gondolas crowd the water, illuminated by lanterns and the soft glow of a full moon, while a theatrical performance takes place on a decorated vessel in the foreground. The detailed architecture of the surrounding palazzos and the distant dome of Santa Maria della Salute create a quintessential Venetian backdrop.
