About the piece
Painted in 1834 by British artist William Etty, this nocturnal scene captures the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. The composition emphasizes the soaring height of the Venetian architecture, with the ornate stone bridge glowing under a single star in a deep indigo sky, while a small gondola navigates the dark waters of the canal below.
