J.M.W. Turner's elegant pencil sketches and watercolours of Venice
are so poignant and evocative that the gentle sound of water
lapping against gondolas can almost be heard when looking at them.
In this beautiful selection, Ian Warrell employs the very finest
examples of Turner's Venetian studies to either guide your next
visit or awaken your memories of trips past. Join Turner as he
progresses through the city, beginning at St. Mark's Basilica with
the Campanile towering above and the coral-coloured exterior of the
Doge's Palace. Drift onward toward the Bridge of Sighs and take a
detour past the Hotel Europa where Turner preferred to stay. Travel
onwards past the Giardini Reali, the Punta della Dogana and Santa
Maria della Salute on your way to San Giorgio Maggiore and the
Accademia. Drift away from the bustling markets around the Rialto
on the Grand Canal heading toward the Frari and the Scuola di San
Rocco, demonstrating the inspiration taken from Venetian masters
such as Tintoretto and Veronese.
