"Upright Venice" is an etching created by the renowned American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1879-1880. Whistler, a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement, is celebrated for his contributions to both painting and printmaking. This particular etching is part of his "Venice, a Series of Twelve Etchings," also known as the "First Venice Set," which Whistler produced during his 14-month stay in Venice. The series was commissioned by the Fine Art Society of London and is considered one of Whistler's most significant achievements in printmaking.

"Upright Venice" exemplifies Whistler's masterful use of line and composition, capturing the serene beauty and intricate architecture of Venice. The etching depicts a vertical view of a Venetian canal, framed by the city's iconic buildings. Whistler's technique in this work is notable for its delicate lines and atmospheric effects, which convey the reflective quality of the water and the play of light and shadow on the structures. His ability to render the textures and details of the scene with such precision and subtlety is a testament to his skill as an etcher.

Whistler's time in Venice marked a period of artistic renewal and experimentation. He was deeply influenced by the city's unique light and its picturesque decay, which he captured in numerous sketches, pastels, and etchings. "Upright Venice" and the other works in the "First Venice Set" were instrumental in revitalizing Whistler's career following his infamous libel case against art critic John Ruskin.

The etching was well-received by contemporary critics and collectors, who praised its beauty and technical prowess. Today, "Upright Venice" is held in high regard by art historians and is included in the collections of major museums, such as the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It remains a quintessential example of Whistler's contribution to the art of etching and his enduring legacy as a master printmaker.
