Information
Born In Liverpool, Williams studied and worked in France and Italy before settling in St Ives in Cornwall.
This work shows the church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, Italy, seen from the opposite bank of the Grand Canal. Like the Impressionists, Williams was interested in capturing different light effects, reflections and shadows. This work is a clear example of this attention to light, colour and atmosphere.
