"Venice, the Piazzetta with the Ceremony of the Doge Marrying the Sea" is an oil painting by the renowned English Romantic landscape painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). Created in 1835, this artwork is part of a series of paintings by Turner that depict various Venetian scenes, showcasing his fascination with the city's unique light and atmosphere. The painting measures 62.2 x 93.9 cm and is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The painting captures a view of the Piazzetta in Venice, the small square that extends from the larger Piazza San Marco towards the lagoon. It is a vibrant depiction of the ceremonial tradition known as the "Marriage of the Sea," in which the Doge of Venice would symbolically wed the sea by casting a ring into it, signifying Venice's dominion over the waters. This ceremony, also known as "Festa della Sensa," was an important annual event that underscored the maritime power and wealth of the Venetian Republic during its heyday.

Turner's work is characterized by his masterful use of light and color, which imbue the scene with a sense of drama and movement. The artist's loose brushwork and the atmospheric effects in the painting are typical of his later style, where he increasingly focused on the play of light and color over precise representation. The Piazzetta is bathed in a warm, golden light, reflecting off the water and the architecture, giving the scene an almost ethereal quality.

"Venice, the Piazzetta with the Ceremony of the Doge Marrying the Sea" is a testament to Turner's skill in capturing the essence of Venice's grandeur and the ephemeral beauty of its light and water. The painting is a valuable part of Turner's oeuvre and continues to be celebrated for its artistic significance and its evocative portrayal of one of the most storied ceremonies in Venice's rich history.
