This painting, titled Venice, is by the English Romanticist landscape artist W. Turner (1775-1851). Turner's ideal was light, and his ambition was to paint the sun. He loved painting the sea and water, especially if in the distance some beautiful city or country enabled him to play wih the effects of shadow and sunshine.
