A Bridge in Venice is a 1899 by Maurice Prendergast, a Impressionism work, depicting Grand Canal, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A bridge arches over narrow water in Venice. Bright colors—pinks, greens, blues—pop against soft light. People stroll the bridge in summer clothes. Prendergast painted this while visiting Italy. He mixed watercolor with gouache for a flat, decorative look. The scene feels alive but also a little dreamy. Check out more works by Maurice Prendergast at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
