On the Adriatic
On the Adriatic is an 1826 landscape painting by the English artist Richard Parkes Bonington. It depicts a distant view of Venice from the Lagoon on the Adriatic Sea. In the foreground is a gondola. The Nottingham-born Bonington moved to France and enjoyed success for his landscapes before his death at the age of twenty five from consumption.
Today the painting is in the collection of the Louvre in Paris, having been acquired in 1926.
