John Singer Sargent (Italian-American, born 1856). A Bridge and Campanile, Venice (1902/1904). Perhaps as an antidote to formal portraits, John Singer Sargent turned increasingly to watercolor after 1900. In depictions of Venice, which he visited almost yearly, Sargent’s favorite perspective was from a gondola, at water level. Fluid and painterly, Sargent’s watercolors were composed directly in color; rarely were the forms outlined in pencil. Blue often dominates his Venetian scenes as if not only the water but also the stones and boats reflect the sky in the light of the lagoon. This print has been produced with the highest quality pigmented, non-toxic, environmentally friendly ink with a color permanence rating of at least 200-year stability. Printed on 100% acid-free cotton fine art paper. Prints are available
