About the piece
Painted in 1826, this work by Richard Parkes Bonington captures the Grand Canal of Venice with a mastery of light and atmosphere characteristic of the Romantic era. The composition features a row of sun-drenched palazzos reflected in the calm water, where gondolas glide beneath an expansive, airy sky.
