About the piece
Created by Félix Ziem in 1863, this luminous oil painting captures the historic inundation of St. Mark's Square. The intricate Venetian architecture is reflected in the rising waters where gondolas navigate between towering ceremonial flags. Ziem's signature handling of light brings a shimmering, ethereal quality to the scene, making it a sophisticated addition to any collection of classic European cityscapes.
