Thick palette-knife strokes build this Venetian canal corner in sculpted ridges of paint. Deep green water laps at weathered pink brick and soft grey stone, while a single gondola rests at its mooring. The heavy impasto gives every surface a tactile, almost carved presence, filling the canvas edge to edge with warm Mediterranean light and quiet stillness.
