Color PaletteFollowing Birket Foster’s first visit to Venice in 1868, he became one of England’s most popular depictors of that often-painted Italian city. From 1870 to 1877 Birket Foster traveled annually to Venice to paint watercolor views, most on commission from a Lincolnshire merchant, who had ordered fifty views of Venice for the princely sum of £5,000.
In typical fashion, Birket Foster represents the vivid color and rich detail of traffic on the Grand Canal set against a backdrop of the landmark dome of the church of Santa Maria della Salute.
