Venice Canals is an original oil painting by Edward Barton, who was entirely self-taught and renowned for his dramatic scenes and heavy impasto technique. This captivating piece captures a serene evening on the canal, enhanced by rich pops of color from flower-adorned balconies and ancient architecture with colorful terracotta rooftops. The Gondolier, gently navigating through the water, serves as the painting's focal point, bringing a sense of calm and timeless beauty.
