Title: Venice Grand Canal Gondolas And Palazzos Original Watercolour Painting

Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This striking watercolour captures the calm elegance of Venice’s Grand Canal, with a close-up view of two moored gondolas in the foreground and a pair of majestic palazzi beyond. The artist’s brushwork skilfully evokes the shifting light and gentle movement of water, using layered washes and dappled reflections to suggest rippling canals and atmospheric depth.
The gondolas, painted in shades of indigo and charcoal with touches of terracotta-red upholstery, are nestled against tall wooden mooring poles—a familiar Venetian motif. Behind them, two grand buildings rise from the water: the one on the left is rendered in deep sienna with crisp white window detailing, while the right-hand structure features paler stonework and ornamental balconies dressed with soft pink awnings. The architecture is classic Venetian Gothic and Renaissance revival, complete with arched windows, balustrades, and canal-level doors that open directly onto the water.
This piece exudes quiet grandeur, capturing the timeless beauty of Venice without resorting to cliché. The scene is likely painted en plein air or from careful observation, using swift yet precise marks to capture reflections, shadowed recesses, and architectural rhythm. An ideal addition to any collection celebrating European cityscapes or travel-inspired works, this is a fine example of Herbert’s eye for atmosphere and structure.

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...
