This is an unbelievable piece if you are a lover of Italian water ways and gondolas. The color and perspective is what I believe is the eye catcher. This is a great piece. The framing is of top professionalism.
Original Signed W. Knight Mid Century Modern Impasto Oil Painting “View of Grand Canal Venice Italy Cityscape Scene ” (1970s). Title: “View of Grand Canal Venice Italy Cityscape Scene”. Artist: W. Knight (20th Century).
It was worth the cost to just get it right as it’s a beautiful mid century watercolor original painting from Italy. It has a signature and a title but the area between the two had discolor, so It is underneath the new mat, which it was when I found it as well.
This beautifully poised composition captures the sun-washed façades, shuttered windows, and moored boats of the Venice canals. Ritter makes the scene feel alive through small human interactions. These small touches prevent the architecture from hardening into topography.
You get the exact painting pictured in gently used condition. This is a vintage painting so please note it may show some light signs of wear so please see photos. Still looks to be in pretty nice condition overall. It is signed by the artist John Angus Ware. It is an oil on board painting measuring approximately 20 x 16“.
