Henry Woods (1846–1921) was a British painter and illustrator, and one of the leading Neo-Venetian school artists. He first visit to Venice was in 1876, and, despite a few trips back to England, he stayed and worked there from 1878 to the end of his life, portraying everyday life of Venetian people.
It was his 1881 Venice paintings At the foot of the Rialto and The Gondolier’s Courtship that aided his associate membership of the Royal Academy in 1882 and in 1893, he became a full member alongside Henry Moore and John MacWhirter.
In 1889, a work submitted to the Paris Exposition Universelle won a bronze medal. Woods was also a member of The Arts Club, and an honorary member of the Accademia di Bella Arte. Here is a collection of beautiful paintings by Henry Woods depicting life of Venice from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
