The Dogana, San Giorgio, Citella, from the Steps of the Europa is an 1842 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner. [1] It features a panorama of central Venice, then part of the Austrian Empire, which was a popular subject for Turner and other British painters such as Clarkson Stanfield and Edward William Cooke during the period. It depicts a view from the Hotel Europa where Turner sometimes stayed during his visits. The work was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1842 at the National Gallery in London. The painting was acquired by the art collector Robert Vernon the same year and was donated to the nation in 1847. It is now in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico. [2] [3]
