Paintings of Venice especially the Rialto Bridge Prints Venice and prints of Italy. Always popular with folk who have been fortunate enough to visit the city of romance. I recall one of my painting trips in March 2000 when the weather was quite varied. I arose early one morning to do some painting in the heavy fog.
We were staying close to the Rialto Bridge, so I made myself comfortable on one of the vaporetto stops. Sitting just below the bridge and began to paint the scene before me. I could just make out the distinctive shape of the famous bridge through the fog. As I worked “wet on wet” on rough watercolour paper.
My efforts were punctuated every few minutes by a vaporetto crashing into the boarding platform. This made my work even more challenging! Gradually the fog began to lift and I was able to gather sufficient information to produce the studio watercolour. Rialto Bridge prints Venice have been reproduced as limited edition prints. Paintings of Venice, Rialto Bridge Prints of Venice and Paintings of Italy visit Alan Reed Gallery in Ponteland, Northumberland.
If you cross over the Rialto Bridge from Piazza San Marco you will come across the Rialto Market. A truly colourful market packed with delicious fresh fruit and vegetable. It also includes a huge fish market open from early morning.
The Rialto Market opens daily from 9 am until noon on the Campo della Pescheria and its surrounding streets.
Venice’s market already existed in exactly the same location in 1097.
