1880
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Upright Venice is a 1880 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a cityscape of Venice, with a canal in the foreground and buildings along the water's edge. The scene is depicted in a range of grays and browns, with touches of blue in the sky and water. In the foreground, there are people standing on the shore, and boats are moored in the canal. The artist has used a range of brushstrokes to capture the texture of the buildings and the movement of the water. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the soft colors and gentle lines creating a sense of peacefulness.
