The image captures a man rowing a traditional gondola Venetian rowing boat. The gondola has a flat bottom with a high prow and stern, and a felze in the middle to passengers from the elements. A man, wearing a hat, jacket, and white pants, stands in the back of the boat and rows with a single oar. The gondola is the only boat in the waters and takes up the entire foreground of the image. In the background is the San Giorgio Maggiore as seen from the Venetian Lagoon. The church is a basilica in the classical Renaissance architecture style.Photograph Details
