The artwork named “Ponte San Giuseppe di Castello, Venice” was created by John Singer Sargent around 1903 to 1904. With dimensions measuring 32.02 x 47.26 cm, this watercolor on paper is an exquisite example of the Impressionism art movement. The piece, which falls under the genre of cityscape, captures the serene and picturesque essence of Venice.

Depicted in the artwork is a tranquil Venetian canal scene framed by the Ponte San Giuseppe di Castello. The bridge gracefully arches over the water, while boats are moored along the canal’s edge, their reflections dancing on the shimmering surface. The architecture, bathed in soft hues, stands majestically in the background, with a play of light and shadow enhancing the depth and realism. The watercolor medium lends a fluidity and transparency to the scene, imbuing it with a sense of immediacy and intimacy characteristic of Sargent’s Impressionist style.
