San Giorgio Maggiore

Mortimer Menpes

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a waterfront cityscape. The scene depicts a body of water with several gondolas near the foreground. The gondolas are dark and mostly obscured. Several wooden poles stick out of the water. In the background, a large church or cathedral is visible, with a tall tower to the right and a large domed roof. The church has a classical architectural style with columns and a triangular pediment. The sky above is gray and hazy. The artwork is signed in the bottom right corner.
