Title: Venice Canal Scene with Gondolas Signed Watercolour by Tony Herbert
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on paper
Size: 8.75 inches (height) x 12.5 inches (width)
Condition: good, with some signs on wear consistent with aging
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This vibrant watercolour captures a sunlit canal scene in Venice, with a view down the waterway flanked by warm-toned architecture. The left side of the painting features a grand palazzo, its pale stone façade glowing under a diagonal shaft of light that cuts dramatically across the composition. Beneath it, a scattering of figures adds life to the walkway — possibly tourists or locals gathered outside a café or shopfront.
Three boats, loosely rendered with quick, expressive brushwork, are moored in the canal. Their hulls reflect softly in the water, with patches of moss green and earthy brown suggesting natural wear or cargo. To the right, a large building in deep terracotta and burnt sienna rises flatly against the foreground, creating contrast and a sense of enclosure.
This is a classic example of Tony Herbert’s gift for capturing place through atmosphere rather than precision. Perspective is handled freely, allowing colour and light to take centre stage. The effect is immersive and painterly, offering the viewer a glimpse of everyday life in Venice without sentimentality. The use of sunlight, in particular, suggests a late morning or early afternoon time of day — casting architectural details into bold relief.
