Venetian Canal. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 15 3/4 x 21 in. (40 x 53.3 cm) Mat: 22 × 28 in. (55.9 × 71.1 cm) Framed (standard exhibition frame): 24 1/2 × 30 1/2 × 1 1/8 in. (62.2 × 77.5 × 2.9 cm). Date: 1913. Like many of his contemporaries, Sargent was captivated by Venice and visited the city frequently between 1898 and 1913. For the focal point of this watercolor, he chose the relatively obscure yet picturesque tower of the Church of San Barnaba. He positioned himself close to the water, as if in a gondola, to present a view looking down the Rio de San Barnaba toward the Grand Canal. Location: North And Central America Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA
