About the piece

Painted around 1880 by Félix Ziem, this oil on canvas captures the ethereal beauty of Venice at dusk. The composition features figures boarding a gondola at the 'Jardin Français', where the warm light from a lantern contrasts beautifully with the deep, moody tones of the surrounding foliage and sky. Ziem was renowned for his luminous Venetian landscapes, and this piece demonstrates his mastery of atmosphere and light in a grounding, sophisticated manner.
