Santa Maria della Salute Silk Scarf

Santa Maria della Salute
1903-1907
John Singer Sargent, American, 1856-1925 

By depicting the back of Santa Maria della Salute, Sargent renders this iconic Venetian site from an unusual, less formal perspective. The cropped view of fishing boats moored in the Giudecca Canal suggests the spontaneity of a modern snapshot. With its golden sunlight and striking composition, this is one of Sargent’s most brilliant watercolors.
