Landscape Paintings of Italy

Italy is a country that captured my heart from the very first moment I put my foot on its soil. It is filled with gorgeous cities, rolling hills, cypress trees, and terra cotta rooftops. Don't even get me started on the food! I have been to Italy many times and have travelled to many of its beautiful cities. The villages and hill towns are lovely and filled with charm, and I dream of returning again and again with paints and easel in tow.

About the Painting:

Several times I have had the great fortune to travel to Italy, and it has always held a special place in my heart. This scene is a true landmark of Venice. Built in the 1600’s, the Bridge of Sighs (Il Ponte dei Sospiri) was so named because it connected the inquisition room in the Doge’s Palace with the Doge’s prison. Crossing over the bridge to their confinement the prisoners would give out one last, yearning sigh as they looked out at beautiful Venice before they went to meet their fate. A rather sad and poignant story! But a beautiful bridge nonetheless, and one of the many landmarks of Venice. I’ve gone on a tour of the palace and the prison and it is fascinating. I hope you enjoy viewing this piece as much as I enjoyed painting it!
