473965 St Mark\'s, Venice (pastel on paper, on card) by Brabazon, Hercules Brabazon (1821-1906); 22.7x17.7 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: Hercules Brabazon has made use of the bright colours and soft outlines created by pastel to reproduce the dazzling effect of light streaming into this scene. It shows the square in front of the cathedral of San Marco, Venice, in Italy. The magnificent building was painted by countless artists. Brabazon has chosen to show it as a semi-abstract pattern, shining white against the bright blue sky. This is in keeping with his usual simplified style. ); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; English, out of copyright.
