1906
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Santa Maria Della Salute, Venice is a 1906 watercolor by John Singer Sargent, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a serene scene of Santa Maria Della Salute, a church in Venice. The church's white dome rises prominently in the background, while a large boat with a brown hull and tall mast dominates the foreground. The boat is moored, with its bow facing the viewer, and a few people are visible on its deck. The artist has used a range of colours to capture the play of light on the water and the church's facade. The overall effect is one of tranquility and beauty, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting.
