Venice, from the Porch of Madonna della Salute
Joseph Mallord William Turner (British, London 1775–1851 London)
Turner's incredible use of "atmospherics" are so masterful, you can almost smell Venice as you stand before this enormous and enormously detailed painting.

J'adore Turner. Merci Jeff.

Me, too, Michelle! And the Harbor of Dieppe is stunning. The scale always feels nearly lifesize. Merci, ma jolie!
