The artwork, “Boats, Venice,” created by John Singer Sargent in 1903, is a watercolor painting on paper with dimensions of 35.56 x 50.16 cm. The piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of marina.
In this remarkable watercolor painting, Sargent captures a close-up view of moored boats in Venice, emphasizing the intricate details and textures of the wooden hulls with fine brushwork. The use of light and color displays the artist’s masterful technique, bringing the scene to life with rich hues and a dynamic interplay of sunlight and shadow on the water and boats. The delicate application of watercolor provides a vivid yet soft impression that is characteristic of Sargent’s Impressionist style.
