This artwork beautifully captures one of Florence's iconic landmarks with its arched bridge spanning over the Arno River. Callow's attention to detail is evident in "The Hotel de Ville, Brussels, 1856. " Using pencil and watercolour heightened with white highlights, he brings life to this grand building situated in Belgium's capital city. Traveling along the Rhine River takes us to "Mayence on the Rhine, 1895. " Through his skilful use of pencil and watercolours, Callow portrays a charming riverside town that exudes history and charm. Venice comes alive in two captivating artworks by Callow. In "Palaces Near the Entrance of Grand Canal, " created in 1898 using vibrant watercolours; he depicts magnificent palaces lining Venice's famous canal entrance. Meanwhile, "Santa Maria della Salute and Grand Canal" showcases his ability to add touches of white highlights that enhance both light reflections on buildings' facades as well as shimmering waters beneath them. Callow also ventured into capturing everyday scenes like "Houses of Franc Bateliers & Church St Nicholas on Canal at Ghent. " With precise lines drawn using pencils combined with gentle washes of colour; he immortalizes these historic structures along Ghent's canals. "The Rialto from Grand Canal" transports us back to Venice through an earlier work from 1852.
