"Nightfall at Santa Maria della Salute" captures Venice at the precise moment when day dissolves into night. The sky turns deep purple and blue as the city's first lights cast their warm glow over the lagoon. Along the quay, classic Venetian lanterns give off a soft, golden glow, reflecting on the shimmering water and giving the scene an almost magical atmosphere.
The gondolas lie quietly swaying at dusk, visible only as dark silhouettes against the light of the basilica. In the distance, Santa Maria della Salute rises imposingly - its domes and façade subtly illuminated, making it the unmistakable centrepiece of the composition. The basilica seems to watch over the quiet lagoon, as if guarding the transition between day and night.
The whole exudes tranquillity, elegance and timelessness. This is Venice at its most poetic: a city that comes alive as soon as the crowds subside and the light softens. The combination of warm lighting, cool air and historical grandeur makes this picture an atmospheric and compelling work of art.
