J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) traveled to Venice three times and his experimentation in Venice served as a sensual catalyst for his future work. David discusses Turner’s watercolor techniques in front of the iconic baroque cathedral Santa Maria della Salute, overlooking the Grand Canal. He then paints an oil sketch overlooking the Dogana and San Giorgio Maggiore, the same scenes immortalized in many of Turner’s transcendent paintings from Venice.
