PETER VAN BREDA | Grand Canal, Venice
Oil on Canvas
55 x 46 cms / 21¾ x 18 inches
Signed P van Breda (lower right)
Peter van Breda captures the shimmer of late-afternoon light on the Grand Canal, where gondola mooring poles rise like sentinels before the majestic dome of Santa Maria della Salute. His fluid brushwork and soft Venetian haze summon the quiet rhythm of boats, rippling reflections and sunlit architecture. A luminous celebration of Venice’s timeless elegance, painted with atmospheric clarity and poetic restraint.
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.
