About MeBreadth, scale, vigour in handling, rhythm in arrangement and rich colour are the characteristics of Brangwyn's work. In this painting of the Ponte di Rialto (the 16th century bridge that spans the Grand Canal in the heart of Venice) Brangwyn has used bold colour and form to suggest the heightened contrasts of light and shadow.
More About Me

A bold and colourful painting of Venice's famous bridge, although the water in the canal would surely not have been so still!
