Description
Venice from the Porch of Madonna della Salute by Joseph Mallord William Turner
The artwork captured the breathtaking view of the city of Venice from the porch of the Madonna della Salute church. The vibrant colors and intricate details in the painting truly bring the scene to life, making it feel as though you are standing on the porch yourself, taking in the beauty of the city. It's no wonder that Turner is considered one of the greatest artists of all time.
Turner drew on his considerable experience as a marine painter and the brilliance of his technique as a watercolorist to create this view, in which the foundations of the palaces of Venice merge into the waters of the lagoon by means of delicate reflections. He based the composition on a rather slight pencil drawing made during his first trip to Venice, in 1819, but the painting is really the outcome of his second visit, in 1833. He exhibited this canvas to wide acclaim at the Royal Academy, London, in 1835.
