Chiesa della Salute from San Giorgio 1927

Earl Stetson Crawford's 1927 etching, "Chiesa della Salute from San Giorgio," depicts a classic Venetian scene. The iconic Chiesa della Salute, a 17th-century church, dominates the background across a calm lagoon. In the foreground, two figures carry baskets, and a sailboat rests at the water's edge. Crawford's meticulous lines capture the architectural grandeur of the church and the quiet atmosphere of the city, a hallmark of his artistic style. The etching showcases the artist's keen observation and skillful use of light and shadow to create a compelling narrative.
