About the piece

This atmospheric oil on panel by Francesco Guardi depicts a triumphal arch standing as a gateway between the Venetian shoreline and the city's architectural horizon. The work exemplifies the Venetian school's evocative use of light, with shimmering brushwork creating a sense of movement along the water and soft shadows playing across the monumental stone structure.
