About this work

You see a quiet Venice canal in black and white. The water is calm. Old buildings lean over the edge. A boat floats near the center. This is an etching from 1912. It shows Venice like a memory. The artist used sharp lines to catch the light on the water. Check out how etching works. Look up “etching” to see how artists carve images into metal plates.
