PETER VAN BREDA | Grand Canal Towards Salute, Venice
Oil on Canvas
54 x 65 cms / 21¼ x 25½ inches
Signed P van Breda (lower left)
Peter van Breda captures the brilliance of Venice’s Grand Canal as morning light dances on the water and leads the eye towards the majestic dome of Santa Maria della Salute. The painter’s deft handling of reflections, long shadows and soft atmospheric haze evokes the quiet poetry of the city before the crowds arrive. A radiant study of architecture, light and stillness, celebrating Venice at its most serene and luminous.
Peter van Breda is one of Britain's leading en plein air painters. Dedicated to working outdoors, Peter's enthusiasm for painting is driven by his excitement at capturing the light, mood and atmosphere of a scene on canvas.
Light reflecting on water and the bridges of London that cross the River Thames have always been of foremost interest to Peter in his painting. He first came to us in the City at Gladwell Co where he charmed the gallery with his scenes of St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, amongst others.
Peter's mesmerising impressionistic landscapes of London, Venice and Paris have since amassed a large following of dedicated collectors who delight in his record of these cities as they know it, in all weathers and at all times of day.
