About this work

Artist: J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851)
Year: 1843
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 62 × 93 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Romanticism

A late Venetian view, painted in 1843: the domed church of Santa Maria della Salute and the customs house at the Punta della Dogana rise out of a haze of light, with boats and figures dissolving into reflections on the water. Turner exhibited it at the Royal Academy in 1843, where it was bought straight from the walls by the Birmingham collector Edwin Bullock. It is one of the smaller Venetian canvases from the artist's last years, when the city had become a vehicle for pure colour and atmosphere rather than topography. The painting passed through several English collections, including that of Sir John Fowler, before crossing the Atlantic, and was given to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1961 by the Fuller Foundation in memory of Governor Alvan T. Fuller of Massachusetts.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A small late view of domes rising from a haze of light, for a bedroom, bathroom or landing at 24×16 in black or natural oak. A white, cream or pale blue wall; it is pure atmosphere and suits a quiet room.

Style: Romanticism painting
Era: 19th century (1843)
Orientation: Landscape
Mood: calm
Rooms: living room, dining room
Good gift for: housewarming, art lovers

Size. Prints at 18×12, 24×16, 36×24 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard; 36×24 as the statement piece above a sofa or headboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; oak lightens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is The Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute, Venice in the public domain?

Yes. J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute, Venice painted, and in what medium?

The Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute, Venice dates from 1843 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 62 × 93 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
