Story

A bustling waterfront scene unfolds along Venice's Grand Canal, where gondolas drift near crowded promenades, with figures and architecture rendered in muted earth tones against blue water. Maurice Brazil Prendergast created this watercolor and graphite work on paper in 1898. He was an American artist associated with the Ashcan School and Post-impressionism. The piece came into the Terra Foundation for American Art through the Daniel J. Terra Collection.
