Awash in colors that illuminate the city like the sunrise itself, Brilliant Venice is a striking canvas painting that will both amaze and inspire anyone who encounters it. Through precise lines, abundant shapes and vivid colors, the artist of this piece has created an unforgettable portrait of a timeless city that will add equal amounts of sophistication and playfulness to any space. This original canvas painting depicts one of the channels that runs through the old world city of Venice, Italy. Perhaps what can be defined as the central subject of this painting is the gondola that floats down the channel that cuts directly through the heart of this painting. The waterway expands outward as it nears the base of the piece, creating an authentic sense of perspective, and the gondola sits on it dramatic and empty, as if waiting for the ghost of another time to come and navigate it through “the sinking city.” Standing on either side of this magnificent and calm water passage are rows of houses that stand shoulder to shoulder, crowded onto the scene. These houses are painted in a variety of striking colors, as though they were lit up by an otherworldly sun. These colors include deep red, yellow, purple, blue and darker colors that create shadow and contours in the architecture. In the background, a placid baby blue sky provides the perfect sunny backdrop for the lovely scene that plays across the foreground in this series of canvases. This painting, with its charming traditional portraiture of a timeless city, will be easy to find a place to display in nearly any room, with any decorative pattern. The touch of modernism that the colors here bring to the piece make it an updated and contemporary painting, while its subject allow it to maintain a sense of classical charm.
The design present in Brilliant Venice emphasizes the modern flair that the artist has aimed at achieving. Instead of using a single canvas piece to spread the scene across, the artist has instead opted to use five different canvas panels. These panels are all rectangular in shape, yet vary in size. The middle piece is by far the largest, making it eye catching, which is appropriate, since it holds the focal point within its borders. From this middle section, the pieces grow smaller as they move outward, creating an attractive shape.
