Title: A Venetian Lagoon, 1871/1874 Artist: William Stanley Haseltine (1832-1900) Description: This 19th century artwork, entitled "A Venetian Lagoon," is a masterpiece by American artist William Stanley Haseltine. Created between the years 1871 and 1874, this gouache, graphite, pen and brown ink drawing with white heightening on blue gray wove paper, showcases Haseltine's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of a serene Venetian scene. The painting depicts a tranquil Venetian lagoon, dotted with sailing boats and small fishing vessels. The boats, with their sails billowing in the gentle breeze, add a sense of movement and life to the otherwise still water. The figures in the scene, dressed in traditional Italian attire, add a touch of human interest and cultural authenticity. Haseltine's use of color and contrast is striking. The deep blues and greens of the water and sky are beautifully balanced by the warm hues of the boats and the surrounding landscape. The intricate details of the boats and figures are rendered with remarkable precision, making this a true masterpiece of 19th century art. This artwork is a testament to Haseltine's ability to transport the viewer to another time and place. The scene is not only a depiction of a historic location, but also a glimpse into the daily life and culture of Venice during the late 19th century. Today, "A Venetian Lagoon" is a cherished addition to the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
