Painting of a Venetian canal with gondolas, masted boats, a tall bell tower and domed buildings under a bright blue sky with soft clouds.

Venice, from the Porch of Madonna della Salute

A wide view down a Venetian canal under a pale blue sky with streaked clouds. Gondolas and moored sailing boats with tall masts float on luminous green-blue water, while a bell tower and domed and columned buildings line the banks in hazy light.

Español: Venecia, desde el pórtico de Madonna della Salute

Una amplia vista de un canal veneciano bajo un cielo azul pálido con nubes difuminadas. Góndolas y barcos de vela con altos mástiles flotan sobre aguas verde azuladas y luminosas, mientras torres y edificios con cúpulas y columnas bordean las orillas en una luz brumosa.

Português: Veneza, do pórtico da Madonna della Salute

Uma ampla vista de um canal veneziano sob um céu azul-claro com nuvens estriadas. Gôndolas e barcos a vela de mastros altos flutuam sobre águas verde-azuladas e luminosas, enquanto uma torre sineira e edifícios com cúpulas e colunas ladeiam as margens em uma luz enevoada.
