About the piece
Painted in 1880, this work is a premier example of James McNeill Whistler's 'Nocturnes,' where he prioritized tonal harmony and atmosphere over literal detail. The iconic silhouette of St. Mark’s Basilica emerges from a deep blue twilight, punctuated by ethereal gold highlights reflecting the building's mosaics and lanterns.
