About the Item

Title: Gondolas on the Grand Canal with Santa Maria della Salute Venice By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Bottom right corner Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 11.25 inches (height) x 15 inches (width) Condition: good, will some signs on wear consistent with aging Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This atmospheric watercolour captures the timeless beauty of Venice’s Grand Canal, with gondolas gently bobbing in the foreground and the majestic domes of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute rising beyond. Painted in a warm, golden palette that evokes the late afternoon sun, the scene conveys both serenity and splendour. The viewer’s gaze is drawn through the vertical mooring poles to the luminous white stone of the church, a baroque masterpiece that has stood at the mouth of the canal since the 17th century. The dark silhouettes of the gondolas, rendered in confident strokes, contrast with the shimmering reflections in the water, where dappled whites and olive tones suggest soft movement and changing light. The buildings along the waterfront are loosely but expertly rendered, allowing the architecture to emerge from washes of ochre, lavender, and sienna. This expressive restraint highlights the artist’s command of the medium, using suggestion rather than precision to conjure depth and atmosphere. This piece likely depicts the view from the Punta della Dogana, looking across the water towards the Giudecca. It is a classic view beloved by painters and visitors alike — yet here it retains a quiet intimacy and freshness, free from cliché.
