EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, Italy, as it stands proudly at the mouth of the Grand Canal. Dating back to the late 16th century, this iconic landmark is a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of this enchanting city. The Church of Santa Maria della Salute, or the Church of Our Lady of Health, was built as a votive church to give thanks for the end of the plague epidemic that ravaged Venice in 1630. Designed by the architect Longhena, the church is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, with its elegant dome and ornate facade adorned with intricate sculptures and frescoes. The photograph, taken circa 1900, captures the church in all its glory, with the sun casting a warm, golden light over its façade. The tall, slender campanile, or bell tower, can be seen in the background, while the lantern atop the dome glows like a beacon in the late afternoon sun. The Grand Canal, with its shimmering waters reflecting the colors of the buildings lining its banks, adds to the serene and picturesque scene. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which features a vast array of images documenting the people, places, and events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a world of grandeur and beauty that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
