The piece we would like to present you is a great example of his love to this magical place. Ochre and brown colors of the facades of Venetian houses reflect in the curving canal. The city of light and mirrors shown in a gentle impressionistic manner. Antoine Bouvard depicted the view on the white leaning bell tower of San Giorgio dei Greci. It was the center of the Scuola dei Greci, the Confraternity of the Greeks in Venice.
In addition, take a look at beautiful depictions of Jerusalem streets by Israeli artist Zvi Raphaeli. Spring warm painting by Israeli impressionist artist depicts a sunlit passage, probably, it is Mahane Yehuda Market. Zvi Raphaeli masterfully conveys the light and shades, this artwork is an instant impression, that radiates calmness. Moreover, the street appears to be full of motion, paints transmit the feeling of wind blowing through bright tents.
