About the piece
Painted in 1843, this late masterpiece by J.M.W. Turner captures the ephemeral light and movement of the Venetian lagoon. The fishing boat 'Sol di Venezia' glides through shimmering waters under a hazy, golden sky, embodying the poetic atmosphere and masterful use of light characteristic of Turner's mature style.
