Description: | This panoramic view of Venice reveals the artist's interest in the depiction of light and atmosphere. Emphasis is on the play of light on the water's surface rather than on architectural detail. Ciardi had links to the Macchiaioli, a group of Tuscan painters in the second half of the nineteenth century who, like the Impressionists in France, favoured plein-air painting in order to capture natural light, shade and colour. | Subjects: | place (Venice) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ciardi, Emma (Italian painter, 1879-1933) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8584... | Go to resource |
