Santa Maria della Salute, Venice (Venetian Anchors) (The Salute, Venice)
Frank Brangwyn's “Santa Maria della Salute,” completed in 1933, transcends mere depiction; it embodies the spirit of Venice itself – a city scarred by plague yet steadfast in its devotion to divine protection. This monumental oil on canvas captures a pivotal moment in Venetian history: the celebration of the Madonna della Salute, commemorating the miraculous deliverance from the bubonic plague that had ravaged the city decades earlier.
