Note du spécialiste

In 1879-80, James McNeill Whistler visited Venice on a commission from the Fine Art Society for a set of twelve etchings. A rare watercolor executed during this trip, the present work depicts Santa Maria della Salute, a magnificent Baldassare Longhena-designed church built to celebrate the end of the 1630-31 plague and completed in 1687. The view is from the piazzetta in front of San Marco, looking across the Grand Canal to the Salute.
