EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Western Facade of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice, Italy. Created by artist John Wharlton Bunney between 1877 and 1882, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust in the UK. Bunney's attention to detail is evident as he captures the grandeur of this Byzantine-style architectural marvel. The marble fronted facade stands tall, adorned with intricate mosaics that grace five tympanum over its doors. Countless columns surround each portal, adding a sense of elegance and strength to the structure. Domes and pinnacles punctuate the skyline, creating a mesmerizing silhouette against the Venetian sky. In addition to capturing this remarkable building, Bunney also includes elements of everyday life within his composition. A bustling square unfolds before our eyes, populated by several figures going about their daily routines amidst a sea of pigeons fluttering around them. This print not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers a glimpse into Venetian culture during that era. It transports us back in time to experience both the architectural splendor and lively atmosphere that characterized Venice in all its glory. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Bunney's talent for immortalizing historical landmarks while infusing them with life and vitality – an enduring testament to his artistic prowess.
