Description:
- Color print of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice.
- The artist, Eugène Boudin (1824-1898), was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Most of his work consists of seascapes. He was deeply influenced by the 17th-century Dutch masters. He became friends with Monet and joined him and other friends for the first Impressionist exhibition.
- This print is one of the most celebrated oil paintings by the French Impressionist artist, created in 1895 during his last trip to Italy. It portrays the iconic basilica from a distance. True to his Impressionist style, the true protagonist of the canvas is not only the Baroque architecture, but also the vibrant reflection of the sun on the water of the Grand Canal and the majestic Venetian sky filled with soft clouds.
