Glimpse of the Palazzo Doria, Genova is a 1892 graphite by Marietta Minnigerode Andrews, a Impressionism work, depicting Gate, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a quick look at a grand, old building in Genoa. The artist used see-through watercolor to make light dance on the stone walls. Soft blue and gray colors suggest early morning. The trick here is the glazing. It layers thin washes of paint to build depth. You can almost feel the damp air off the harbor nearby. See how loose the brushstrokes are? Try Andrews, Marietta Minnigerode next.
