About the piece

Painted by Gustaf Wilhelm Palm around 1860, this evocative view of Venice showcases the artist's mastery of light and atmospheric perspective. The composition features the intricate Gothic facade of a palazzo on the left, leading the eye toward the distant dome of Santa Maria della Salute, while gondolas navigate the serene waters of the canal.
