William Stanley Haseltine - Santa Maria della Salute, Sunset [1870-85]

William Stanley Haseltine (Philadelphia, June 11, 1835 - Rome, February 3, 1900) was an American painter. He first exhibited his paintings in 1855 at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, after which he sailed to Europe, first joining a colony of American painters who were studying in Dusseldorf, then travelling up the Rhine into Switzerland and Italy. In late 1857 he settled in Rome, and in the following months made numerous excursions to draw the landscape around Rome and on Capri.
