View of Venice

Italian

Not on view

This panorama of Venice, in gouache on black paper, calls to mind the topographical precision afforded by photography, and was probably painted around the time of the invention of photography in 1839. The sweeping view of urban shoreline anchored by San Marco’s campanile and the commanding Doge’s Palace offers a pictorial record of modern appeal.
