Santa Maria Della Salute #2 is a 1910 by Mortimer Menpes, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows Venice’s dome of Santa Maria della Salute glowing in late light. The water below mirrors its warm golds and soft pinks. Menpes painted it while living in England, far from Venice. He used quick brushstrokes to catch the shimmering air above the lagoon. The scene feels quiet, almost like a memory. You can almost hear the oars dip in the water. Look up another quiet water scene by John Singer Sargent.
