Venice, Capriccio | Johann Wilhelm Jankowsky

Venice, Capriccio by Johann Wilhelm Jankowsky (German, c. 1825–1870) is a poetic and imaginative vision of Venice, blending real architectural elements with artistic fantasy. In this capriccio—a genre known for combining idealised landscapes and invented scenes—Jankowsky presents the romantic allure of Venetian canals, domes, and palaces bathed in golden light. With delicate brushwork and atmospheric depth, the painting evokes a dreamy interpretation of the city’s grandeur, celebrating both its historical charm and the artist’s creative liberty. It’s a timeless tribute to Venice as seen through the lens of 19th-century romanticism. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalise the image.
