Gallery Label:
Sickert lived in Venice for several periods during the years 1895-1904, moved easily in the international artistic and literary society that flourished there, producing a large number of drawings, etchings, and paintings of Venetian subjects. He enjoyed the challenge of treating afresh the famous sights painted by such familiar masters as Canaletto and Turner-as well as by his former mentor Whistler-and brought to them a vision formed in part upon Monet's recent series of paintings of Rouen Cathedral under different conditions of light and atmosphere.
