Umberto Ongania (1867-1942) - Early 20th Century Watercolour St Marks Square
Description
A truly mesmerising depiction of St Marks Square by Venetian born painter Ongania. The watercolour has a radiant glow, achieved through the use of a bright palette and succinct, crisp brushwork.
Ongania's artworks often capture the stillness of the moment, the select figures depicted seem always to exist within a quiet moment of peace, mirroring the sentiment of their Venetian surroundings.
The artwork is signed in the bottom right-hand corner and is well presented in a steel blue mount.
On the rear of the wove is an original artist stamp from Ongania.
