"Long Venice (Kennedy 212)" is an etching and drypoint created by the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1879-1880. Whistler, renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to etching, produced this work during his sojourn in Venice, a period that significantly influenced his artistic trajectory. The piece is part of Whistler's celebrated "Venice, a Series of Twelve Etchings," commonly referred to as the "First Venice Set," which showcases his masterful ability to capture the ethereal beauty and intricate architecture of the city.

"Long Venice" is distinguished by its elongated horizontal format, which allows Whistler to present an expansive view of the Venetian canals and buildings. The composition is marked by its meticulous attention to detail and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, hallmarks of Whistler's etching technique. The scene depicted in "Long Venice" features a tranquil canal flanked by historic buildings, their reflections shimmering in the water, creating a sense of depth and serenity. Whistler's use of drypoint adds a rich, velvety texture to the lines, enhancing the atmospheric quality of the work.

The etching reflects Whistler's fascination with the interplay of natural and artificial light, a theme that recurs throughout his oeuvre. His time in Venice allowed him to experiment with different perspectives and techniques, resulting in a body of work that captures the city's unique ambiance. "Long Venice" exemplifies Whistler's ability to convey the poetic essence of a place through his distinctive artistic vision.

Whistler's Venice etchings, including "Long Venice," were highly acclaimed and contributed to his reputation as a leading figure in the etching revival of the late 19th century. These works not only highlight his technical prowess but also his ability to evoke mood and atmosphere, making "Long Venice" a significant piece in the study of Whistler's artistic legacy and the broader context of 19th-century printmaking.
