About the piece
Painted in 1846 by Henry Pether, this evocative oil on canvas depicts the iconic church of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. The composition is defined by the shimmering reflections of the full moon upon the water and the detailed rendering of classical Italian architecture against a moody twilight sky, creating a sense of profound stillness.
