A Venetian Convent

Cameron was a leader in the etching revival in Great Britain and was a member of the Royal Society of Painters-Etchers. He traveled widely throughout Europe and created several sets of etchings based on his journeys including the ‘Clyde Set’ (Scotland) and the ‘North Holland Set.’

Part of his ‘North Italian Set’ of etchings, this work is number four of the group of twenty-six and depicts three monks seen from behind, with a view of the canal, including a gondola making its way under a bridge in the middle ground.
