Untitled View of San Giorgio Maggiore, an original watercolor on paper by Róbert Nádler, is a piece for the true collector. An impressively calming nature of this plein-air painting draws you into the scene as if you were standing at the shore's edge, looking out at the island across the water. Gondolas populate the water in the middle ground on the left, with one tied up barely in view at the lower right. Both the technical talent of the artist and choice of subject matter pair perfectly with its custom, gilt frame. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for seascapes, landscapes, impressionism, Venice, architecture-themed art, plein-air painting, and nature. San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on the island of the same name in Venice, northern Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio, and built between 1566 and 1610. The church is a basilica in the classical renaissance style and its brilliant white marble gleams above the blue water of the lagoon opposite the Piazzetta and forms the focal point of the view from every part of the Riva degli Schiavoni. The island and church have been painted by countless artists, including greats like Monet.
