More about this artwork
Step into a captivating scene with Félix Ziem's enchanting painting "Venise et le Campanile au clair de lune," created between 1870 and 1890. This remarkable artwork invites viewers to a moonlit escapade in the timeless city of Venice.The painting presents a dramatic and moody skyline dominated by the iconic Campanile of St. Mark's Square, which pierces the night sky. Underneath a luminous full moon, Ziem masterfully captures the glimmering light as it dances on the rippling waters, guiding the eye to a solitary gondola silently gliding through the canal. The gondolier’s figure is poised delicately in the boat, adding a human element to the mystical landscape.Ziem's brushwork skillfully portrays the dynamic and swirling clouds that seem to echo the restless movements of the water below, both illuminated by the moon’s ethereal glow. The dark tones and shadowy silhouettes of the city architecture contrast sharply with the bright moon and its reflection, creating a stunning interplay of light and dark.This painting not only exemplifies Ziem's fascination with Venice but also his exceptional ability to convey mood and atmosphere.
