About the Item

Title: Venice Market Scene With Red Boat And Canal Bridge Original Watercolour Painting By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 13.25 inches (height) x 19.25 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 vibrant watercolour painting captures a quintessential Venetian moment: a bustling outdoor market nestled beside a narrow canal, with soft light filtering through the awnings and casting dappled reflections on the cobbled street. The composition draws the eye from the crimson and green canopies toward the deep red delivery boat moored in the canal to the right. A small arched bridge in the background connects the slender buildings, their window shutters and chimneys rising rhythmically toward the pale sky. The loose, expressive brushwork conveys the movement of figures browsing market stalls and the atmospheric haze that characterises Venice in the morning hours. Though seemingly informal, the work demonstrates careful architectural understanding, particularly in the perspective of the buildings and the suggestion of depth leading into the canal beyond. The market itself, likely the famed Rialto or a similar neighbourhood version, is brought to life with flicks of colour—rusts, mauves, and whites—hinting at fresh produce and flowers. The left-hand building features the distinctive Venetian Gothic arches of the city’s historic facades, while the scene as a whole evokes both the energy and romanticism of daily life in the lagoon city. This piece would appeal to lovers of Italy, European markets, or plein air architectural painting.

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...
