Venice, from the Porch of Madonna della Salute is a 19th century oil painting by J. M. W. Turner. Done in oil on canvas, the painting depicts an imagined image of Venice, as the view shown is not realistic.[1] The painting was inspired by one of Turner's three visits to Venice, and showcases Turner's skill as a maritime artist. The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1835 at Somerset House in London. The work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.[1]
