About the painting
Venice was a favourite subject to which Frank Brangwyn returned many times throughout his career. One of his earliest views of the city, this painting represents the Dogana da Mar, the customs house established at the eastern tip of Dorsoduro, at the entrance to the Grand Canal. The painting focuses the bustle of working men and boats at the quay. The choice of view, which avoids the conventionally picturesque and puts the working men centre stage, is characteristic of Brangwyn’s art. The free, vigorous handling of paint imbues the scene with a sense of energy and movement.
