About the piece

Painted in 1882 by Swedish artist Carl Skånberg, this vibrant oil study captures the brilliant light and active life of a Venetian canal. The scene features children bathing and navigating a small boat against a backdrop of sun-drenched architecture and traditional sailing vessels under a vast, cloud-filled sky, showcasing the artist's masterful handling of atmospheric light.
