About Famous Paintings of Venice
In the 18th century Canaletto painted Venice for wealthy visitors, many of them British travellers on the Grand Tour. His views are clear and exact, full of gondolas, crowds and sunlit facades. "The Stonemason's Yard" (around 1725, National Gallery, London) shows a quieter side of the city, with workers cutting stone for a church.
J. M. W. Turner visited Venice three times and painted it as a city of light and haze, as in "Venice, from the Porch of Madonna della Salute" (1835, Metropolitan Museum of Art). Claude Monet came in 1908 and painted the Grand Canal and San Giorgio Maggiore in soft blues, pinks and violets, with the striped mooring poles of the Grand Canal in front of Santa Maria della Salute. He finished them later at Giverny.
