About the Item

"San Marco Interior", original, unique painting, 60x80cm / 23.5x27.5in Shipped stretched ready for display by airmail. This oil painting of the Interior of San Marco Church in Venice is a stunning interpretation of the basilica’s grand and intricate architecture. The artist captures the Byzantine opulence and spiritual atmosphere through a combination of expressive brushwork, rich color layering, and dynamic perspective. The vibrant blues, golds, and earth tones reflect the mosaic-laden interior of San Marco. The juxtaposition of warm and cool hues adds depth and movement to the composition. The loose, painterly strokes create a sense of vibrancy and fluidity, evoking the way light dances across the cathedral’s domes, arches, and walls. The central vanishing point leads the eye down the nave toward the altar, enhancing the church's monumental feel. The vertical lines of columns and arches contribute to the soaring, almost ethereal ambiance. The way light filters through the space is reminiscent of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist influences, inspired by artists like John Singer Sargent or Walter Sickert, who painted Venetian interiors with similar liveliness. While the architectural forms are well-defined, the energetic application of paint gives the work a slightly abstract feel, allowing the viewer to feel the spiritual and atmospheric essence rather than a strict photographic depiction. The painting aligns with the Venetian tradition of celebrating light, space, and grandeur, much like the works of Canaletto or Guardi, but with a more expressive and modern approach. The visible brushstrokes and dynamic palette bring to mind the Fauvist movement, where color takes on an emotional, almost symbolic role. This is a beautiful and evocative interpretation of San Marco, balancing structure and spontaneity to create a deeply immersive scene.
