Gondoliere Study 1, Venice, Italy, Edition 1/9

GONDOLIERE STUDY 1 – VENICE, ITALY | GERALD BERGHAMMER
Gondoliere Study 1 is a black-and-white fine art photograph by Austrian photographer Gerald Berghammer, capturing a gondolier navigating a narrow canal in Venice, Italy. The composition reveals the timeless beauty of this historic city, where a traditional gondola moves through a secluded waterway framed by elegant Venetian architecture.

A standing gondolier forms the central focal point, guiding a traditional gondola between historic buildings rising directly from the water. Weathered stone façades, ornate windows and intricate architectural details create a rich interplay of texture, geometry and perspective. The vertical lines of the surrounding buildings draw the viewer's eye towards the luminous passage beyond, while gentle reflections and restrained monochrome tones introduce subtle movement and atmospheric depth, lending the photograph a timeless, contemplative quality.

Photographed in 2020 and printed in 2020 as an archival pigment ink print, the work reflects Berghammer's minimalist approach to architectural and cityscape photography, emphasising precise composition, refined tonal gradations and the evocative relationship between architecture, water and human presence. Through careful visual reduction, this intimate Venetian canal becomes a contemplative study of everyday life, atmosphere and the passage of time.

This original print, Edition 1/9, has previously been exhibited and is offered as the existing physical artwork in its original presentation. Signed, numbered and dated, the photograph is housed in a handmade black wooden frame with a natural-white archival mount and anti-reflective glass offering 70% UV protection.
