Santa Maria Della Salute from across the Bacino, Venice 

The English artist Edward Lear (1812-1888) was a renowned painter and illustrator who was known for his detailed landscapes. In his work, "Santa Maria Della Salute from across the Bacino, Venice," he showcases his skill in depicting architectural structures and the calm beauty of the Venetian Lagoon. The piece features the Santa Maria Della Salute church prominently in the background, while a gondola gracefully navigates the water in the foreground, creating a sense of peaceful serenity. This watercolor, likely painted during Lear's travels to Italy, exemplifies his artistic talent and his keen eye for capturing the essence of a place.
