The artwork titled “A Street in Venice” by John Singer Sargent, created around 1880 to 1882, is a genre painting that employs oil on canvas. Distinguished by its Realism art movement, the piece measures 75.1 by 52.4 centimeters. It is currently housed at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, United States.
Depicting a narrow Venetian alleyway, the artwork captures the interaction between two figures. A man stands in the foreground, partially in shadow, engaging with a woman clad in dark attire and standing in a doorway. The dim lighting and rough-textured walls exude a somber and intimate atmosphere. The receding perspective of the passageway draws the viewer’s gaze towards the bright, sunlit backdrop, emphasizing the depth and contrast within the scene.
