Upright Venice is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a busy waterway with people and boats in the foreground. The artist used fine lines and cross-hatching to create texture and depth. This technique helps to draw the viewer's eye to the lively activity along the water's edge, with gondolas and a distant cityscape in the background. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of etching.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
