Santa Maria della Salute
Oil on Canvas

Private Collection
Santa Maria della Salute (English: Saint Mary of
Health), commonly known simply as the Salute, is a Roman Catholic
church and minor basilica located at Punta della Dogana in the Dorsoduro
sestiere of the city of Venice, Italy.
It stands
on the narrow finger of Punta della Dogana, between the Grand Canal and the
Giudecca Canal, at the Bacino di San Marco, making the church visible when
entering the Piazza San Marco from the water. The Salute is part of the parish
of the Gesuati and is the most recent of the so-called plague churches.
In 1630,
Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive
offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice
vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health (or of Deliverance,
Italian: Salute). The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style
by Baldassare Longhena. Construction began in 1631. Most of the objects of art
housed in the church bear references to the Black Death.
The dome of the Salute was an important addition to the
Venice skyline and soon became emblematic of the city, inspiring artists like
Canaletto, J. M. W. Turner, John Singer Sargent, and the Venetian artist
Francesco Guardi. More

La Riva Degli Schiavoni - Venice
Oil on canvas
50.2 x 65.4cm (19 3/4 x 25 3/4in).
Private Collection
Much like Canaletto two hundred years prior, Bouvard built his career around the ever-increasing popularity of Venice as a holiday destination and almost exclusively painted scenes of the city. Here he has captured the Riva degli Schiavoni, literally translating to shore of the Slavs, named after the Dalmatian population which settled here. This view is punctuated by the Doge's Palace, National Library of St Marks and the city gates, marked by the two pillars between the great buildings. These landmarks are symbolic of Venice's great wealth and power whilst a Republic between 697-1797, the architectural style also highlights the city's position as a meeting point between the East and the West.

Bouvard Noel George, 1912-1972, was born on the 25 December, 1912 in Paris, the son of Eloi Noel Beraud, better known as Marc Aldine or Antoine Bouvard. He was a recognised artist of architectural and landscape paintings, however, like his father he became best known for his works of Venetian canals. After studying at Ecole des Beaux Artists he became very influenced by his father and they worked together for many years from 1935 to 1950. Like his father, he often went to Venice to prepare his sketches and drafts from which he was able to create the flowing landscapes and harmonious arrangements, which made his paintings highly sought after in France as well as the UK. Bouvard places the scene carefully on the canvas with surrounding buildings reflecting in the water, and portrays the heat of the sun in its reflection against the stone surfaces.

Hermann Dudley Murphy, (1867-1945)
Rio del Paradiso, Venice, Italy, Circa 1908
Oil on canvas

Frame Size: 35 1/2 x 28 1/2 inches
Private Collection
Murphy first visited Venice while studying abroad in the 1890s and returned again in 1908 on an extended stay with his family, during which Rio del Paradiso was mostly likely painted.
Rio del Paradiso captures the historic Ponte Borgoloco spanning the canal (also known as the Rio del Pestrin) in the eastern Castello district of Venice. That the view and surrounding palazzos remain much the same today is a testament to the enduring beauty of the Floating City, and supports Murphy’s own assertion that “People go to Paris to study and to Venice to paint.” Boston Herald, November 1908.

Hermann Dudley Murphy (1867 1945) was a major figure in the Boston School style of painting and also as a painter in the Tonalist style emanating from Barbizon, France, Hermann Murphy did a variety of subject matter beginning with portraits and figure studies and later painting still lifes, seascapes and landscapes. He was especially noted for his floral still lifes.

William Logsdail (25 May 1859 – 3 September
1944) was a prolific
English landscape, portrait, and genre painter. He exhibited at the Royal
Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Grosvenor Gallery, the New
Gallery (London), and others. He is notable for his realistic London and Venice
scenes and his plein air style.
In the
autumn of 1880, Logsdail visited Venice where he was to remain, with occasional
visits to England, the Balkans, Egypt and the Middle East, until 1900. During
this early period in his career, he gravitated towards architectural and
subject paintings.
He also
painted some sixty-nine small paintings for the Fine Art Society on the subject
of the French and Italian Riviera. In 1893, Logsdail was awarded a medal for oil painting at the
World's Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair).
After
spending two years in Taormina and Sicily, he and his family returned to
England, settling in West Kensington, London. This marked
the beginning of a period of portrait painting for Logsdail, who was offered so
many commissions that he was able to pick and choose his sitter at will.
In 1912, he was elected as a member of the Royal
Society of Portrait Painters. As his career progressed, he turned to flower
studies. More on William Logsdail
