"Gondolas at Night, " Superb Example of Mid Century Enamel Painting

About the Item

Saturated with color -- in tones of periwinkle, cobalt, aqua and midnight black -- this enamel panel was painted by Judith Daner, the last surviving master of enamel painting from the 1950s and 60s. This example beautifully captures a scene of gondolas bobbing in the Venetian lagoon under a moonlit sky.
