Painting
Thomas Moran was an adventurous landscape painter who traveled far and wide in search of compelling views. He accompanied the first government-sponsored expedition to Yellowstone, shortly before it became a national park, and his drawings and watercolors from that expedition formed the basis for dramatic paintings of western views. In 1886, he journeyed to Venice, where his watercolors captured views of lagoons and picturesque buildings. These sketches formed the basis of immensely popular studio paintings like the one hanging here.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, Venice was a favored Old World destination for many American writers and painters, including Mark Twain, Henry James, and James MacNeill Whistler. However, Moran's work probably had the greatest impact on Americans' awareness of La Serenissima (the most serene), a fond nickname for Venice.

This landscape is one of several works that were the result of a trip Thomas and Mary Moran made to Scotland in 1882. It shows the Bridge of Three Waters, near the site where members of the MacDonald clan were massacred by solders from a Campbell regiment in 1692.
