Sunset on the Lagoon, Venice is a 1893 oil by Henri Edmond Cross, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a serene sunset on the water, with a few boats in the distance. The sky is painted in soft, pastel colors, with hues of pink, orange, and purple blending together. The water reflects the colors of the sky, creating a sense of calmness. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the fleeting moment of sunset, from the deep blues and purples of the shadows to the bright oranges and yellows of the sun's rays.
