"Lagoon: Noon" (k. 216; M. 213) is an exquisite etching and drypoint created by the renowned American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Completed in 1879-1880, this work is part of Whistler's celebrated "Venice, Second Set" or "Twenty-Six Etchings," which captures the ethereal beauty and intricate architecture of Venice. Whistler, known for his innovative approach to etching and his ability to convey atmospheric effects, masterfully depicts the serene and luminous quality of the Venetian lagoon at midday.

The composition of "Lagoon: Noon" showcases Whistler's adept skill in balancing intricate detail with a sense of atmospheric lightness. The etching features a tranquil scene of the lagoon, with gondolas gently floating on the water and the distant architecture of Venice subtly rendered in the background. Whistler's use of line is both delicate and precise, capturing the reflections on the water and the play of light with remarkable finesse. The artist's characteristic "butterfly" signature, which evolved over time, is also present in this work, adding a personal touch to the piece.

Whistler's time in Venice was a period of significant artistic growth and experimentation. He was deeply influenced by the city's unique light and the interplay of water and architecture. "Lagoon: Noon" exemplifies his ability to distill the essence of a scene into a harmonious and evocative image. The work reflects Whistler's broader artistic philosophy, which emphasized the importance of mood and atmosphere over detailed realism.

"Lagoon: Noon" is held in high regard within Whistler's oeuvre and is considered a prime example of his etching technique and his ability to capture the poetic beauty of Venice. The piece is part of several prominent collections, including those of major museums and private collectors, and continues to be celebrated for its artistic and historical significance.
