St. Mark's Square, Venice
1873-1931
Etienne Bosch brings the magic of Venice to life in this energetic sketch of St. Mark's Square. The composition is dominated by the towering Column of Saint Mark, crowned by the winged lion that serves as the city's symbol. To the left, an ornate architectural facade rises up, while the famous dome of Santa Maria della Salute sits in the distance. Bosch uses rapid, scratchy lines to capture the swirling clouds and the bustling crowd below, giving this impressionist view a sense of immediate, fleeting movement.
