Holland first exhibited a view of Venice at the Old Watercolour Society in 1836, immediately following his first visit to the city. The watercolour was bought by John James Ruskin, John Ruskin's father. Ruskin only made a brief reference to Holland in his writings, as a painter of calm water; however, he first noticed the artist in 1836 and so was presumably refering to his father's watercolour. The following year Holland exhibited three views of Venice, among them this spectacular sunset.
