"Vinegia, Vinegia, chi non te vede, ei non te pregia" is a 19th-century painting by the English artist Edward William Cooke, renowned for his marine art and detailed studies of ships and boats. The title of the work is an Italian phrase that translates to "Venice, Venice, whoever doesn't see you, cannot appreciate you," reflecting the artist's admiration for the city of Venice, which was a frequent subject in his oeuvre.

Completed in 1856, this painting is a testament to Cooke's skill in capturing the essence of Venice's architecture and its bustling waterways. The artwork depicts a picturesque view of the Venetian canals, with gondolas and other vessels plying the waters, and the city's historic buildings rising in the background. Cooke's attention to detail and his ability to render the effects of light on water and stone contribute to the painting's charm and realism.

Cooke, who was elected as an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1851 and a full Royal Academician in 1863, traveled extensively throughout his career, drawing inspiration from the landscapes and seascapes he encountered. "Vinegia, Vinegia, chi non te vede, ei non te pregia" is a reflection of his travels to Venice and his fascination with the city's unique maritime culture.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it captures the allure of Venice during the Victorian era, a time when the city was a popular destination for artists and travelers on the Grand Tour. Today, the work is appreciated for its historical context and as an example of Cooke's mastery in marine painting, contributing to our understanding of 19th-century British art and its engagement with European subjects.
