About the Item

Title: St Marks Basilica Venice in Golden Light with Crowds and Reflections Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Bottom left corner Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 10.75 inches (height) x 15.5 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 striking watercolour captures the awe-inspiring façade of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, rendered in warm, glowing tones that suggest the magic of late afternoon or early evening light. The scene is alive with movement — crowds gather in Piazza San Marco, their forms softened into impressionistic shapes, while long reflections stretch across the damp paving stones. The basilica’s onion domes and gilded arches shimmer with architectural splendour, framed by the vertical lines of flagpoles and the looming presence of the adjacent Campanile. The artist has masterfully balanced precision and atmosphere, with the rich golden hues of the church façade emerging from loose washes of ochre and burnt sienna. In contrast, the sky is rendered in soft cerulean and violet tones, lending a cool backdrop that enhances the warmth of the basilica. Foreground figures, seen from behind, offer a sense of intimacy and scale — we feel as if we are walking into the square alongside them. There’s a distinct sense of place and season, likely spring or early autumn, when the light is low and tourists still fill the square. This is a work that celebrates both the grandeur of Venice’s religious architecture and the energy of its public spaces. The dynamic composition, expressive brushwork, and keen understanding of light and form are hallmarks of Frederick Anthony Herbert’s most evocative cityscapes.

"Santa Maria della Salute" Venice - Architectural Watercolor Painting - Turner
By Mclean Jenkins
Located in Atlanta, GA
"Santa Maria della Salute II" is a watercolor painting of the Santa Maria della Salute church and minor basilica in Venice, Italy. This work features hues of orange and tan. This piece is 16 by 20 inches framed. McLean Jenkins is inspired by the work of JMW Turner, Richard Diebenkorn and Louis Khan. McLean Jenkins is a practicing architect with McAlpine and his work derives from and celebrates the classical forms of his trade. Working in graphite, ink and watercolor, McLean employs a gestural approach that frees his hand to explore a subject’s essence. His compositions rely on the quick, decisive sketch and are then given over to the whims and splashes of watercolor. Spontaneity, movement and spirit are all emphasized and his drawings collectively form their own narrative of his passion for architecture. The city of Venice has captured McLean’s imagination since his first trip there as a 12 year old boy. Over the years a kind of courtship with the city has evolved, and its impact has motivated and sustained his development as both architect and artist. His work depicting the city has been recognized within the architectural profession by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in its award to McLean of the J. Neel Reid...
