This watercolor, created circa 1875 by American artist William Stanley Haseltine, captures a serene view of the Giudecca Canal in Venice. Haseltine's delicate brushstrokes and muted tones evoke a tranquil atmosphere. The iconic Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and the campanile of St. Mark's are prominently featured in the distance, while a lone gondolier navigates the calm waters in the foreground, offering a sense of scale and human presence within the grand cityscape. This piece is a testament to Haseltine's mastery of capturing the architectural beauty and timeless charm of Venice.
