About the Item

Title: Venice Canal Scene With Gondola And Reflections Original Watercolour Painting By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 10.25 inches (height) x 14.25 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 expressive watercolour painting captures a quiet canal in Venice, rendered with a loose, atmospheric hand that lends the piece an almost dreamlike quality. The composition is anchored by tall, weathered buildings in warm ochres, siennas, and slate grey, their façades softened by light and water. The architecture is simplified but unmistakably Venetian, with shuttered windows, subtle arches, and façades that glow with the patina of age. In the foreground, two moored boats sit nestled in the canal’s dark waters, their reflections fragmented by gentle ripples. One boat appears to be a small gondola, with its characteristic slender frame and pointed prow, drifting lazily in the still canal. The canal’s surface is painted in sweeping strokes of green, grey, and black, suggesting both depth and movement. The brushwork throughout is fluid and instinctive, giving the scene a sense of immediacy—as though captured in passing during a stroll through one of Venice’s quieter sestieri. The perspective leads the eye gently down the canal, where another pale building stands sentinel at the far end, flanked by glimpses of additional structures just out of frame. This piece is ideal for collectors drawn to expressive, gestural watercolours or for those who seek art that evokes a strong sense of place without rigid formality. It captures Venice not as a tourist might see it, but as a painter does—through the lens of light, mood, and fleeting impressions.

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...
