Daniel Clarke
Venice Backwater, Painting, Watercolor on Watercolor Paper

2021

About the Item

I looked out from my window, and I saw Venice, my Venice, naked in the sun— Sad, faded, and unutterably forlorn!— But still unutterably beautiful. For days and days I wandered up and down— Holding my breath in awe and ecstasy,— Following my husband to familiar haunts, Making acquaintance with his well-loved friends, Whose faces I had only seen in dreams And books and photographs and his careless talk. For days and days—with sunny hours of rest And musing chat, in that cool room of ours, Paved with white marble, on the Grand Canal; For days and days—with happy nights between, Half-spent, while little Katie lay asleep Out on the balcony, with the moon and stars. O Venice, Venice!—with thy water-streets— Thy gardens bathed in sunset, flushing red Behind San Giorgio Maggiore's dome— Thy glimmering lines of haughty palaces Shadowing fair arch and column in the stream— Thy most divine cathedral, and its square, With vagabonds and loungers daily thronged, Taking their ice, their coffee, and their ease— Thy sunny campo's, with their clamorous din, Their shrieking vendors of fresh fish and fruit— Thy churches and thy pictures—thy sweet bits Of colour—thy grand relics of the dead— Thy gondoliers and water-bearers—girls With dark, soft eyes, and creamy faces, crowned With braided locks as bright and black as jet— Wild ragamuffins, picturesque in rags, And swarming beggars and old witch-like crones, And brown-cloaked contadini, hot and tired, Sleeping, face-downward, on the sunny steps— Thy fairy islands floating in the sun— Thy poppy-sprinkled, grave-strewn Lido shore— Thy poetry and thy pathos—all so strange!— Thou didst bring many a lump into my throat, And many a passionate thrill into my heart, And once a tangled dream into my head. :: Painting :: Impressionist :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Lower right hand corner :: Watercolor Paper :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No
