About the Item
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.

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...
