1900
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
St. Mark's No. 2 (Venice) -- Interior is a 1900 by David Young Cameron, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows the interior of a large, dimly lit church. The walls are lined with columns, and the floor is made of stone. A large, circular window lets in some light, but the atmosphere remains somber. In the foreground, a figure sits on a bench, looking towards the back of the church. The walls are adorned with intricate carvings and statues, adding to the sense of grandeur. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic effect, with the contrast between light and dark drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the image.

Sir David Young Cameron (28 June 1865 – 16 September 1945) was a Scottish painter and, with greater success, etcher, mostly of townscapes and landscapes in both cases. He was a leading figure in the final decades of the Etching Revival.
