Description

Masato Yamaguchi (1934–) "Venice" Original Oil Painting on Canvas, Signed and Endorsed

This work, "Venice," is created by the Western-style painter Masato Yamaguchi, who hails from Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture. Born in 1934, Yamaguchi received a special award at the Nika Exhibition in 1975 and became a member of the French Salon in 1983. He has held numerous solo exhibitions at department stores such as Shinjuku Keio, Odakyu, SOGO, Tokyu, and Tobu. He has traveled to Europe multiple times, particularly depicting numerous landscapes of European cities such as Paris and "Venice."

The centerpiece of this work is the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a symbol of "Venice," with its large blue dome emerging as the focal point, surrounded by a golden sky and water reminiscent of dusk.

The depiction of light is particularly beautiful, with the horizon softly dissolved by connecting the sky and sea in the same color scheme, vividly contrasting the blue of the church with the golden glow. Delicate brushstrokes overlap on the water's surface, capturing the shimmering light of the "Venice" lagoon at sunset. A gondola crosses the tranquil water, adding human activity and narrative to the architecture-centered landscape.

Masato Yamaguchi has created several oil paintings with the same subject, such as "Impression of Venice," "Fantasy (Venice)," "Autumn in Venice," and "Rising Sun Venice." "Venice" is one of the significant themes in Yamaguchi's works.

The heavy classical-style gold-painted frame with a generated color lining perfectly harmonizes with the golden-dyed "Venice" landscape, adding an elegant atmosphere to the overall work.
