Venice is a 1898 oil by Eugène Boudin, a Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a serene scene of a cityscape by a body of water. The sky is a soft blend of grays and whites, with a few darker clouds scattered across it. In the foreground, several boats are moored along the shore, their reflections rippling gently in the water. In the distance, the silhouettes of buildings rise up, their details softened by the misty atmosphere. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting.
