Title: Oil painting Venetian ferry boat Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: No.AAA5714The Oil painting Cardboard titled "Venetian ferry boat" captures the timeless atmosphere of Venice, the city of canals, gondolas, and endless reflections of architecture in the water. This painting immerses the viewer in a vivid scene, where the elegance of Venetian palaces meets the dynamic life of the waterfront. The artist has skillfully blended color, light, and texture to convey the rhythm of this enchanting city, balancing between the charm of its historic architecture and the movement of people and boats at the ferry stop. The central focus of the composition is the tall, multi-story Venetian building with its distinctively arched windows and entrances. Rendered in warm ochres, muted pinks, and earthy tones, the structure rises with an air of historic grandeur, its facade textured by thick, expressive brushstrokes. The variations of color—ranging from golden yellows to deep burgundies—reflect the way time, sun, and salt air have left their imprint on these ancient walls. The upper stories, painted with slightly darker hues, give the impression of shadows under the midday sun, while bright strokes along the arches highlight architectural detail. This building, with its towering verticals and decorative facades, embodies the enduring character of Venice’s architectural heritage. At the base of the building, near the waterfront, life unfolds with vibrancy. Small figures dressed in bursts of bright color—yellows, reds, and greens—stand out against the muted earth tones of the walls. These figures, though suggested with quick, energetic strokes, convey a sense of liveliness and movement. They represent travelers waiting, conversing, or preparing to board boats, embodying the perpetual activity of the ferry docks in Venice. The artist’s choice to paint these figures in bold, contrasting tones makes them focal points, emphasizing human presence amidst the grandeur of the setting. The canal water in the foreground shimmers with an array of deep emeralds, turquoises, and navy blues, its surface animated with bold, fluid strokes. White highlights, laid thickly with the brush, capture the glimmer of sunlight reflecting on the ripples. The movement of the water mirrors the energy of the ferry boats, which cluster at the dock. These boats, painted in shades of white, gray, and brown, are small but detailed enough to reveal their function. The masts and hulls tilt slightly, as though caught in the natural rhythm of the water, conveying a sense of realism and motion.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Venetian ferry boat"* ARTIST: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 20x15 cm/7.87x5.90 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
