together with various animals

once they were established

Grand Canal, Venice ☱ Signac ☵ Art Print woodblock together with various animalsEntrance to the Grand Canal, Venice (1905, Le Grand Canal Venise) by Paul Signac depicts the waters of the Grand Canal lined with many gondolas, and the Dogana da Mar and Santa Maria della Salute in the background. While Seurat applied paint in dots, Signac favored longer dashes that resemble the individual stones of a mosaic, influenced by the Byzantine mosaics he had viewed on trips to Istanbul and Venice.
