'Venezia' is an oil painting on canvas, created in 2003 by the renowned contemporary Russian artist Vladimir Volegov.
The painting depicts a narrow Venetian canal, framed by historical architecture and an elegant wrought-iron bridge railing in the foreground.
There are employed bold, textured brushstrokes and a highly evocative interplay of light and shadow, beautifully rendering the golden sunlight reflecting off the old walls and water.
Vladimir Volegov (born in 1957 in Khabarovsk, Russia, currently living on the Costa Brava in Spain). His style is heavily influenced by his experience as a street painter in various European cities, focusing on rapid, evocative capture of the scene.
