Montani did several studies of this languid corner of Venice -- one of which sold at auction in the U.S. a few years back. In fact, many of Montani's works have sold in both the U.S. and Europe in the decades since his death -- proof positive of the enduring popularity and quality of his work.

This particular piece measures 54.5" W x 36.25" H x 2" D framed and is large enough to make a captivating focal point in any room. Purchased around 1963, it held a featured spot in my parents' living room for many years, causing me to spend countless afternoons admiring its bold brush strokes and deft use of shadow and light as I reminesced about our wonderful trip to Venice in the summer of '62.. Make it yours and let it trigger fond memories (or inspire a trip to Venice) for you, too. less
