About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of Venetian Canal Scene with Colourful Facades by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 12 x 15.5 inches (Height x Width) Signed: Yes Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: from a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: In this captivating watercolour, British artist A.J. Avery transports us to the vibrant canals of Venice. The painting captures a lively street scene along a canal, where warm sunlight illuminates the façades of classic Venetian buildings. The architecture, with its rustic red, ochre, and beige tones, is beautifully contrasted by the cool hues of the canal waters below, which mirror the scene with gentle ripples. A blue boat is moored in the foreground, its color harmonizing with the delicate reflections on the water's surface. The artist skillfully conveys the texture of aged stucco walls and wrought-iron balconies, while small groups of people add life and scale to the composition. The subtle shading and detailed brushstrokes emphasize the charm and warmth of this quintessential Venetian setting. Avery’s work beautifully captures the essence of Venice’s historic architecture and canal life, evoking the serene yet bustling ambiance of a sunlit afternoon along its storied waterways.

Venice Backwater, Painting, Watercolor on Watercolor Paper
By Daniel Clarke
Located in Yardley, PA
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...
