San Biagio is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a serene, moonlit scene of a canal in Venice. In the foreground, a small boat is moored, with a few people standing on the shore. The canal stretches into the distance, lined with buildings and a church, San Biagio, on the left. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the tranquil scene. The artist's attention to detail, from the textures of the buildings to the reflections on the water, adds to the painting's sense of realism. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Whistler, James McNeill.
