Venice (1894) by American artist Thomas Moran (1837-1926). After achieving fame and fortune with his pioneering vistas of the American West, he visited Venice in the late 1880s, painting the alluring city and its lagoon. Moran avoids topographical specificity by condensing the setting so that the various monuments—notably the tower in St. Mark’s Square and the white-domed church Santa Maria della Salute—are all visible within the same dreamy composition.
