1853
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
View of Venice: The Dome of Santa Maria della Salute Seen from the Rear of the Da Mula Palace, looking Eastward is a 1853 by Frank Dillon, a Impressionism work, depicting Grand Canal, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a detailed pencil drawing of Venice’s skyline. The Dome of Santa Maria della Salute rises in the background, its white curves sharp against a soft gray sky. In the foreground, a low stone balcony with balustrades adds depth. Dillon made this while studying in Italy. He focused on light and texture, sketching Venetian architecture with careful lines. The view feels quiet, like a snapshot of a place frozen in time. Try his other works on view at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Frank Edward Dillon, known in later years as Pop Dillon, was an American baseball player and manager.
