Description
English: Thomas Moran, American, 1837–1926

Venice: The Lagoon Looking toward Santa Maria della Salute, 1894 Watercolor and gouache over graphite on cream laid paper 27.3 x 41.2 cm. (10 3/4 x 16 1/4 in.) Gift of Mrs. Philip T. White x1969-370

After achieving fame and fortune with his pioneering vistas of the American West, Moran began traveling to Venice in the late 1880s, painting composite views on canvas and paper of the alluring city and its lagoon. As demonstrated in this characteristically luminous example, Moran avoids topographical specificity by condensing the setting so that the various monuments—notably the tower in St. Mark’s square and the white-domed church Santa Maria della Salute—are all visible within the same dreamy composition, evoking Venice’s evanescent beauty as if seen from the low perspective of

a floating gondola.
