Original Description
In "Vue De Venise," Vartan Makokian captures the timeless romance of Venice with luminous brushstrokes that dance between realism and impressionism. Painted in the mid-20th century, this atmospheric cityscape bathes the Grand Canal in golden light, where gondolas glide past weathered palazzos whose facades shimmer in delicate reflections. As an Armenian-American artist trained at Paris's Académie Julian, Makokian blends Old World mastery with expressive modern sensitivity—his Venetian scenes particularly celebrated for their poetic handling of light. These works occupy a unique niche in postwar American art, serving as sophisticated bridges between European plein-air traditions and the burgeoning California plein-air movement Makokian later influenced. The harmonious interplay of warm ochres, watery blues, and touches of Venetian red demonstrates his chromatic sophistication, making this piece an understated gem deserving wider recognition among mid-century tonalists.
When displaying "Vue De Venise" in interiors, leverage its warm Venetian palette to create cohesive elegance. Position the painting in spaces receiving afternoon light to amplify its golden glow—ideal above a console table in a library or as focal point in a dining room with terracotta-hued walls. The mid-size canvas (typical dimensions around 24"x36") suits above-sofa placements or office lobbies without overwhelming. Pair with Venetian glass lamps or Fortuny fabric accents to extend its Old World charm, while modernist furniture provides pleasing contrast to its traditional subject matter. For corporate settings, frame in slender gilt wood to underscore sophistication; residential spaces might opt for distressed gilt to enhance bohemian appeal. Smaller studies from Makokian's Venetian series make exquisite companion pieces when creating gallery walls centered on travel nostalgia.
