But don\u2019t mistake this for an entirely placid work of art. It is a century ahead of its time. Guardi\u2019s atmospheric light, and perception of sky and water becoming one, anticipate the French impressionists, especially Monet. And like Monet, Guardi has hidden depths. The atmosphere when you look again is changing, evening is on its way, perhaps a storm. Reality itself seems to melt at the edges. Nothing is quite solid. Let yourself float into this dream.
