The artwork titled “View of Venice from Lido” was created by Ivan Aivazovsky in 1855. It is a part of the Romanticism art movement and belongs to the ‘marina’ genre. This exquisite painting portrays a serene and picturesque view of Venice as seen from Lido.
The artwork captures a tranquil moment on the Venetian waters, marked by a soft, dreamy atmosphere characteristic of Romanticism. In the foreground, a small boat manned by two figures is depicted, leisurely floating on the calm, reflective waters. The water exhibits a delicate blend of pastel hues, seamlessly blending into the horizon. In the distance, the iconic skyline of Venice, with its intricately detailed buildings and spires, emerges subtly from beneath the soft, voluminous clouds. The sky transitions smoothly from a gentle yellow near the horizon to a tender blue towards the top, enhancing the ethereal feel of the scene.
