Santa Maria della Salute, Sunset 1870 - 1885

William Stanley Haseltine's "Santa Maria della Salute, Sunset" (1870–85) depicts the iconic church in Venice, Italy, bathed in the golden light of a setting sun. The painting showcases Haseltine's expertise in capturing the atmosphere and light of the Venetian landscape, a popular subject among 19th-century artists. The scene, with its calm waters and picturesque boats, creates a sense of serenity and beauty, characteristic of the "luminist" style popular during this era. The artwork is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
