Notes

Sickert uses an angled view of the colossal Venetian cathedral to explore the dynamic power of architectural forms. The image has the cropped quality of a photograph, framing the curve of the facade.The tone is muted with the image built up on a grey ground in a carefully balanced scale of lights and darks.

Presented by Edward Evershed, 1945.
