More about this artwork
"La Salute, effet de matin" is a mesmerizing artwork by Félix Ziem, painted between 1880 and 1890. This painting captures a serene morning scene of the famous Santa Maria della Salute, a notable landmark of Venice, as viewed from the Grand Canal. The soft light of the early morning sun bathes the scene in a gentle glow, illuminating the ornate facade of the basilica and the surrounding buildings with a dreamlike quality.Ziem's brushwork is loose and expressive, contributing to a sense of movement within the calmness of the morning. The sky, filled with light and airy clouds, transitions from a warm golden near the horizon to a soft blue, suggesting the fresh, early morning air. The water of the canal reflects these changes in the sky with shimmering strokes of blue, white, and gold, while small boats gently navigate the waters, adding life and dynamism to the tranquil setting.This piece is a brilliant example of Ziem’s fascination with Venetian architecture and his mastery in portraying light and atmosphere. The painting invites viewers to momentarily drift into the quiet and enchanting world of a Venetian morning, reflecting the timeless beauty of the city and its reflections on the water.
