A Gondola on the Grand Canal, Venice is a 1866 gouache by William Callow, a Impressionism work, depicting Grand Canal, held at National Gallery of Art.
A gondola glides on the Grand Canal under a bright sky. Its sleek black shape cuts through the water. Warm sunlight dances on the waves. This is a watercolor by British artist William Callow. He painted Venice often. The paper still looks new after 150 years. For a similar view, check out John Singer Sargent’s watercolors at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
