About the Item

Title: Venice Waterfront Painting With Gondolas And Lampposts Original Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, mounted not unframed Size: 15 inches (height) x 18 inches (width), including mounting Condition: good, will some signs on wear consistent with aging Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This atmospheric original watercolour captures a classic Venetian scene at the waterfront, bathed in the golden light of late afternoon. The silhouette of San Giorgio Maggiore rises in the distance, framed by the distinctive dome and bell tower, while the gentle shimmer of the Adriatic Sea lends the composition a sense of movement and calm. In the foreground, elegant cast-iron lampposts and wooden piers lead the eye through a lively promenade filled with strolling figures and gondoliers readying their boats. The brushwork is fluid yet precise, with masterful control of shadow and backlighting to convey depth and character. Pale washes of yellow and blue in the sky contrast with the darker, finely layered tones of the figures and foreground, suggesting a moment of transition between day and evening. The architectural landmarks firmly root the scene in Venice, while the figures add a sense of timeless human presence and ritual. Painted en plein air or from direct observation, this work distills the artist’s keen eye for place and atmosphere. A striking yet subtle piece, ideal for collectors of European cityscapes or Italian travel art.
