Fluttering flags add a dynamic element to the composition, imbuing the scene with a sense of motion and festivity despite the unusual circumstances.Ziem, known for his fascination with Venetian landscapes, portrays not just a city, but the spirit of Venice—resilient, timeless, and ever-beautiful, even in the face of nature’s unpredictability.
