拍品专文

Seago first visited Venice in 1933 as a guest of Henry Mond, 2nd Lord Melchett, one of his most influential patrons. He returned frequently in the 1950s and finally in 1960. He was captivated by the light and as well as painting dramatic views and sweeping vistas, he was equally inspired by more intimate views with their intense shadows, as seen in the present work.
