Description: | Myles Birket Foster made his first visit to Venice, Italy in 1868. He returned many times in later years. This little watercolour shows the view up the Grand Canal, with the church of Santa Maria della Salute on the left. Evening light dissolves the forms of the buildings in a haze of colour, and the sky is lit with golden and pink tints. Views of Venice and evening scenes were both very popular at this time. Foster's colourful and detailed watercolours were extremely successful. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists beyond Tyne and Wear watercolours art North East artists other cultures | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
