Dominant colour
The church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo, Venice is a 1863 watercolor by James Holland, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a church interior with bright light streaming in. People sit on the floor, some praying, others resting. A statue stands near the back, and the ceiling has fancy gold patterns. The artist used soft colors and loose brushstrokes to show daily life in a church. The light makes the scene feel warm and alive. Look up James Holland next to see more of his work.
