This painting is a Claude Monet Sunset In Venice. The colors are bold and vibrant. Looking at the image there is a feeling of peace the colors are soothing leaving the viewer with ones thoughts. The lighting appears to be setting bringing the eye to the horizon. The single tower on the left hand side balances outs the picture adding contracts to the trees on the right of the image. One wants to know what the building is; a tower, a home, or just a place on the water. What ever it is, the building is the focal point along with the coloring in the sunset. The colors appear to be slowly fading off the edge of the page. This affect captures the lighting of romance that is generally associated with Venice. The image truly embodies the spite of Venice and the beauty that is offered in a Venice sunset. The texture used in both the water and the sky gives an effect that the ripples in the water are real and that the differing colors in the sky are setting in that particular order. Most of all this image holds a feeling of beauty and peace. Leaving the viewer in a state of curiosity regarding what is beyond the picture. Besides the emotion gained by looking at the painting the purpose is to allow the viewer to find the meaning within the image for ones self.

This is a beautiful painting of monet. The choice makes it unique and it offers somthing different for the audience to apprecaiate and enjoy.
The connection you make between the picture and real concepts about Italy makes it even more interesting. Italy has always been known to be romantic place to visit with its beautiful cities speaking of romance and love.
But you know I never thought of the spite associated with venice like you intelligently mention in your caption. It definitely drew my attention and gave me food for thought.
The image is very domineering and one can not ignore the vivid presentation provided by the image. Good choice, i think because it provides somthing usual in a very different setting.
