Francesc Congost Tor captures the essence of Venice in 'Venice - Santi Giovanni e Paolo', a work created with pastel and pencil on paper measuring 29 x 40 cm. The composition shows a Venetian canal flanked by historic buildings, with a bridge guiding the gaze toward the background. The colors beige, blue, gray, brown, and white combine in soft tones that evoke an atmosphere of tranquility and nostalgia.
The artist, trained at the Llotja School in Barcelona, specializes in uninhabited urban landscapes. In this piece, the absence of human figures accentuates the sense of calm and allows the architecture to be appreciated in detail. The diffuse light suggests a serene moment of the day, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the timeless beauty of the city.
