About this artwork

Cadell’s paintings of Venice are modest in size. This allowed him to paint directly, in the open air. Cadell used fluid brushstrokes of white paint with touches of vibrant colour to capture the shimmering reflections of Mediterranean sun. Depicted is the gleaming façade of the church of the Santa Maria del Rosario, more commonly known as I Gesuati. It is located only a short distance from the Calcina Hotel on the Zattere.
