"Rio de Santa Maria Formosa" is a watercolor painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), created during his time in Venice, Italy. This artwork is part of a larger body of work that Sargent produced while exploring the Venetian landscape and its waterways, which marked a significant period in his career where he shifted focus from portrait painting to capturing landscapes and architectural scenes.

The painting depicts a view of the Rio de Santa Maria Formosa, one of the many canals that crisscross the city of Venice. Sargent's mastery in watercolor is evident in the fluidity of his brushstrokes and the luminous quality of the scene. He captures the reflections on the water's surface, the play of light on the buildings, and the everyday life along the canal with a sense of immediacy and spontaneity that became a hallmark of his watercolor works.

Sargent's Venetian watercolors were often created en plein air, allowing him to directly engage with the changing light and atmosphere of the city. "Rio de Santa Maria Formosa" is exemplary of his ability to blend architectural precision with a loose, expressive technique, resulting in a vibrant and evocative portrayal of Venice's unique environment.

The painting is a testament to Sargent's skill as a watercolorist and his contribution to the medium, showcasing his departure from the formal constraints of his commissioned portraits to the freedom and experimentation found in his landscape and architectural studies. "Rio de Santa Maria Formosa" remains an important piece within Sargent's oeuvre, reflecting his enduring fascination with Venice and his exceptional talent for capturing its essence on paper.
