The Salute, Venice by John Singer Postcard

"The Salute, Venice" is a painting by American artist John Singer Sargent. The painting depicts the church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, Italy, as viewed from across the Grand Canal. The church, which was built in the 17th century, is an iconic landmark of Venice and is known for its distinctive dome. In the painting, Sargent captures the grandeur of the church and its setting, with the canal and other buildings in the background. He also portrays the atmosphere of Venice, with its distinctive light and colours. The brushwork is loose and impressionistic, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. Sargent painted "The Salute, Venice" during his travels in Europe in the late 19th century. The painting is considered one of his most iconic works and is held in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London.
