It was made in 1998-99. <br /><br />The museum webpage - http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/sunlight-on-the-piazzetta-36490 - has quite a few of his sketchbook pages available to look at. Fascinating stuff, thank you.<br /><br />Recognised the style immediately (I researched United States painting before my residency there last year, and he was one of the artists I was glad to come across). Recognised the Doge's palace as we have a copy of it in glasgow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TempletonDogesPalace.jpg - as well as a copy of the golden house, which is similar - http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image.php?inum=TGSA05148will - have to make it to Venice some time to see the originals!janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588901637630537211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-89180136079730798482013-07-27T22:22:58.378+00:002013-07-27T22:22:58.378+00:00Maurice Prendergast

Art...Hi Katherine:<br />Title: Sunlight on the Piazzetta<br />Artist: Maurice Prendergast<br />Media: Watercolor over graphite on paper<br />Where is: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston<br />Research: Oh this was fun! I recognized a Prendergast watercolor right away (he is huge favorite of mine), but didn't know the exact painting. I read where you allow googling using words to look at images. Being more excited than careful, I googled JOHN Prendergast - paintings - and there was the image a few lines down (along with a real John Prendergast! Then followed the image to WikiCommons and then to Boston MFA.<br />Thanks for these minutes of visiting a favorite!
