Long Venice is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a serene depiction of a cityscape, with a large body of water in the foreground and buildings lining the far shore. The scene is rendered in soft, muted colors, with the sky above a gentle blend of grays and whites. In the distance, the silhouettes of buildings and spires rise up, while in the foreground, a few boats are visible on the water. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility.
