Painted from the bridge, called la Ponte de l'Academia, looking at the end of the grand canal. Our eye begins its journey from the palace on the left. It is the heart of Venice. The Byzantine arches, columns and elongated windows, quickly transport us into the glory that was Venice. Our glance then proceeds from the reflections of the water, and along the small boats, to the vanishing point on the opposite island. Rhyn, the master painter, brings the mysticism of this magical city to a new level.
