The Ca d’Oro

Vision of the beautiful white marble façade of the Ca d’Oro palace in Venice and its reflection on the water of the Grand Canal, placed in the centre of the canvas. The foreground gives us the impression of flying over the water at the level of the gondolas.

The blue and white sky participates in the dialogue between the magnificent palace of the Ca d’Oro and its mirror.

The shapeless touches of water contrast with the black lines of the gondolas and the white lines of the gothic architecture of the façades.

This painting perfectly illustrates the artist’s pictorial reading of the interaction of light with all the elements of the Venetian décor.
