About the Item
This painting by Boris Major depicts a serene Venetian canal scene with gondolas moored near rustic buildings. The architecture features warm, earthy tones, with worn stone walls and red-tiled roofs that evoke the historic charm of Venice. A lone figure stands near the water, adding a sense of quiet daily life to the scene. In the distance, smaller boats and a bell tower are visible, enhancing the depth and perspective of the composition.
The water reflects the buildings and boats, with a gentle ripple effect that adds realism. The light is soft and diffused, creating a calm atmosphere that captures the beauty of Venice’s canals at dusk or dawn. The painting’s muted color palette and intricate details in the textures of the buildings and water surface make it an evocative and timeless portrayal of Venetian life. The work is professionally framed in a classic, understated gold frame that complements the traditional style of the scene.
Signed in the lower-right corner B.Major.
Condition: The painting is in good condition, has some stable craquelures due to age. The frame has some minor scuffs.
Framed measures 28" x 19.5", Painting 24" x 16".
Boris Major (1876-1951) was born in Russia as Berko Mesherowsky. He studied art in Russian, and then at the Academy of Art in Munich, Germany. He immigrated to the US in 1906 and lived in the New York City area. Berko became a US citizen in 1911, and changed his name to Boris Major. In 1929 he departed on a two-year journey through Europe and North Africa. One of his stops was in Venice.

Russian Modernist Сityscape Venetian Motive early 20th century Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
Signed lower left: Vasily (Wilhelm) Filippovich Levi (1878 - 1954). The uncommon view of Venice was depicted by gifted artist in even more modernism manner than his other works of same period. IMO this one worth special acceptance being very rare and highly desired masterwork. The scorching sun gilds the sparkling expanse of the canal with its rays. At this hour the city is empty. Calm waves gently lap against the keel of the gondola. The artist perfectly transferred to the canvas the atmospheric idyll and romantic magic of old Venice. Oil painting on wood, signed, framed.
Size app.: 47 x 64 cm (roughly 18.5 x 25.2 in) and beautiful antique frame ca 64.5 x 81 cm (roughly 25.4 x 31.9 in). Very Good condition, ready to hang condition, age wear (just minor wear to frame finish). Please study good resolution images for overall cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment.
