Venezia-Murano, from Urban Landscapes No. 2

A masterful example of Photorealist printmaking, this screenprint by Richard Estes captures the shimmering reflections and architectural details of Venice's Murano island with striking precision and clarity.

The work is part of his celebrated *Urban Landscapes No. 2* series, demonstrating his extraordinary ability to transform the observed world into a meticulously rendered, almost hyperreal image on Fabriano Cottone paper.
