Veneția is a 1931 by Nicolae Dărăscu, depicting boat, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a small boat with three people sitting inside, rowing or resting. Behind them, a city with tall buildings and a tower sits across a wide canal. The water is calm, with a few other boats and sail-like shapes in the distance. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like quick sketches, with bright blues and soft yellows blending into the water. The people in the boat are simple shapes, not detailed. Next, look up canal to see how artists have painted waterways over time.
