The work is representative of the beginning period of Nicolae Dărăscu's artistic maturity, the years 1908-1920, when he was strongly influenced by impressionism and neo-impressionism. In his Venetian paintings, Dărăscu explores reflections, transparency, and the relationship between water and city. The color palette is bright and warm, dominated by blue, green, ochre, red, and yellow, colors contrasted to create vibration and atmosphere. The theme of Venice holds a significant place in Dărăscu's work because the city offers the artist precisely what he sought in painting: changing light, water, reflections, and urban landscape. Nicolae Dărăscu began travelling to and painting in Venice as early as 1909, frequently returning to the city from the 1910s to the 1950s. He often painted en plein air, right in front of the motif, which explains the freshness and spontaneity of his Venetian compositions. During the mid-1920s, in northern Italy, in Venice and Chioggia, Dărăscu would perpetuate impressionist themes. The artist's interest focuses on the effects of light on water and on volumes painted through color, thus approaching European masters such as Claude Monet or Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Similar works of the artist include: "View of Saint Tropez" and "Port of Saint Tropez", "Boats in Chinoggia" (1926), "Canal in Venice" or "Fishing Vessels" (1924). He would dedicate himself to a series of works capturing the fishing vessels, boats moored at the shore or the ones gently detaching from the coast, small houses with rich gardens, crowded markets or the architecture of palaces and Venetian canals.
