An evocative and atmospheric original oil painting by the acclaimed American artist Armand Merizon, circa 1970s – early 1980s. Part of Merizon’s celebrated 'Horizons' series, this particular work captures a luminous, ethereal view of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. It is a rare example where the artist’s mastery of light transforms a classic architectural subject into a dreamlike atmosphere.
This grand-scale Venetian landscape would serve as a sophisticated focal point in a traditional study, above a living room mantel, or as a serene addition to a formal dining room.
Rendered with Merizon’s signature textured brushwork, the painting captures the interplay of light and water on the Grand Canal. The soft, hazy palette of cerulean blue, warm terracotta, and golden ochre creates a dreamlike quality, where the historic architecture feels both permanent and ephemeral. The composition is grounded by the majestic dome of the Basilica, reflected beautifully in the shimmering canal waters below.
Armand Merizon (1920–2010) was a renowned Michigan-based artist celebrated for his technical versatility and ability to capture the "inner light" of his subjects. His works are held in numerous private and public collections, prized for their emotional depth and sophisticated use of color and texture.
The painting is housed in its original, high-quality Wentworth Gallery custom frame. The frame features a classic gold-leaf finish with ornate repeating patterns and a white linen liner that adds depth and professional elegance to the presentation. The piece is signed "Armand M." in the lower right corner.
