A Bridge and Campanile, Venice (ca.1902–1904) by John Singer Sargent Style:Black frame and one woman serving pureJohn Singer Sargents A Bridge and Campanile, Venice (190204) turns a canal view into something soft, fleeting and half dreamed. Recorded as watercolour over black chalk, showing a pale bridge, campanile and buildings reflected from a low, water level perspective. In Sargents hands, Venice becomes private looking: fluid, luminous and beautifully hard to hold.
