Lagoon, Venice is a 1936 by Muirhead Bone, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a lagoon in Venice. The water is calm, with a few boats scattered across it. In the distance, the city's skyline rises, with buildings and towers visible. The sky above is overcast, with clouds that add to the peaceful atmosphere. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the water's surface is rendered, with subtle ripples and reflections.
