Venice, Morning is a 1864 oil by Félix Ziem, held at Walters Art Museum.
The painting depicts a serene scene of Venice in the morning. The city's architecture and boats are reflected in the calm water, with the sky above a soft blend of light colors. In the foreground, a few boats are moored, while in the distance, the city's buildings and towers rise up. The overall atmosphere is one of peacefulness and tranquility. A closer look reveals the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of blue and gray dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a sense of texture and movement.
