About Campo San Agnese, Venise

“Campo San Agnese, Venise” is an artwork created by John Singer Sargent around 1890. This piece, executed using oil on canvas, measures 45.72 x 65.1 cm and belongs to the Impressionist art movement. As a cityscape, the artwork captures an urban scene from Venice.

The artwork portrays a serene and somewhat desolate square, typical of Venice, showcasing an old, textured façade of buildings with an intricate and seemingly aged stone well at the center. The architecture is rendered in warm earth tones, with a play of light and shadow giving depth and a sense of quietude to the scene. The worn-out appearance of the buildings and the gentle, almost melancholic atmosphere evoke a sense of timelessness and historical presence. The absence of figures emphasizes the stillness of the environment, allowing viewers to appreciate the subtle details and the exquisite technique of the artist.
