△《The Sun of Venice Going to Sea》Artist: J. M. W. Turner (British, 1775-1851), 616 x 921 mm, exhibited 1843, oil on canvas, Tate, accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856.
航行過有如玻璃鏡面的海水，這種帆船在義大利被稱之為「Bragozzo」，是一種木製的捕魚帆船。帆上寫的字是「Sol di Venezia」，或者是「Sun of Venice」，正是這座城市的迷人之處，在波光粼粼的黃昏裡展現出她的魅力。
一般而言，油畫材料易於傾向枯澀的氛圍，能營造出柔性的質感誠屬不易，透納讓「渲染」效果發揮得淋漓盡致，飽含「詩性」，這是透納的獨特風格。
『Fair Shines the morn, and soft the zephyrs blow,
Venezia‘s fisher spreads his painted sail so gay,
Nor heeds the demon that in grim repose
Expects his evening prey.
--Joseph Mallord William Turner, Fallacies of Hope』
