This splendid oil painting on canvas captures a spectacular view of the sunset over the lagoon waters.

Venice, the most fascinating fantastic city, has inspired the great interpreters of French Impressionism, first and foremost Claude Monet.
In this case, the early 20th-century Italian master Egidio Tonti manages to convey a great emotion using a chromatic range of exceptional visual rendering with vigorous brushstrokes full of pictorial material..
The result is truly remarkable. The painting is in fact dazzling and emanates an extraordinary energy with refined elegance.
