British and American Artists in Venice 1815-1914
Venice has played an important part in the development of British painting. Turner made the first of several visits in 1819, all of which influenced his painting; Ruskin loved Venice and his The Stones of Venice is an influential best seller; Whistler only spent 1879-80 in Venice but did some of his finest work there. John Singer Sargent had a particular love for the city which he visited and painted regularly. Finally, we shall look at Walter Sickert's unique vision of Venice.
