The Rialto is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, depicting Street, held at National Gallery of Art.
James McNeill Whistler’s 1880 etching shows Venice’s famous Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal. It’s a black-and-white print on paper, small enough to hold. Whistler often visited Venice in the 1880s. He made over 50 etchings there, each one capturing a quiet moment in the city. This one focuses on the bridge’s arches and the boats below. Try drawing this scene yourself. Whistler, James McNeill
