Venetian Reverie | 60 x 48 in. | Acrylic on canvas. | Original Panting By Alexander Franco.

Curatorial Review:
This serene depiction of a gondola gliding across the Venetian canals is a celebration of timeless beauty and quiet wonder. The artist paints with precision and warmth, capturing the architectural grandeur of the domes in contrast with the gentle motion of the water below. The soft, pastel sky and luminous reflections evoke a dreamlike quality—one where history, romance, and human presence blend into a harmonious whole. A true homage to the poetry of place.

Artist Statemen:
Venice has always felt like a place suspended between worlds—land and sea, time and dream. In this painting, I aimed to capture that sensation of floating through history. The gondola represents simplicity and elegance, while the monumental domes anchor the viewer in a sense of cultural richness. This piece is not just about a city—it’s about a feeling. One of wonder, light, and the beauty of slowing down.
