Artist’s description:

At the height of the Renaissance, Venice found itself as a flourishing independent republic in the then Italian city state. In more modern times, Venice has come to be known as the “City of Canals” and it is a sightseeing capital. In the early morning or evening, as gondolas gently sway back and forth while moving along the canals, gazing upon this scenery evokes a surreal and romantic mood.
