View across the Giudecca Canal toward the Salute and the Campanile of San Marco is a 1875 graphite by William Stanley Haseltine, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a soft blue watercolor of Venice. Light hits the church dome and bell tower just right. Boats dot the canal in the foreground. This scene shows Venice’s quiet side. No crowds. Just water, sky, and the old buildings. The paper’s blue tint makes everything feel cool and fresh. Want to see more like this? Look up William Stanley Haseltine.
