Shhh! Venice (2022)Watercolour
by Olga Beliaeva Watercolour

Early morning in Venice. View of the statue of the Archangel Gabriel.

Set in the heart of Venice, this humorous watercolor painting captures a lighthearted moment on the ornate façade of the Doge’s Palace. A spirited seagull loudly greets the morning, perching atop the ancient stonework, while the sculpted figure of Archangel Gabriel appears to gently raise a hand—as if saying, “Quiet, please!”

This playful scene contrasts the timeless elegance of Venetian Gothic architecture with the familiar chaos of city birdlife. With meticulous detail and soft tonal contrasts, the piece adds a charming narrative twist to a historic setting. Perfect for lovers of Venice, architecture, and art that tells a story with a smile.
