Title: Venetian View School: Italian Baroque (19th century) Style: Late Baroque / Venetian Vedutism Technique: Oil on canvas Circle and artistic influence: Work linked to the tradition of Italian vedutisti, especially the painting of architectural capriccios and Venetian views developed between the 18th and 19th centuries. The composition recalls the legacy of artists such as Francesco Guardi, Michele Marieschi and Antonio Joli, both for the monumental architecture and for the presence of small figures that animate the landscape. The hazy atmosphere, the open perspective toward the lagoon and the scenographic character show the nineteenth-century continuity of this tradition. Interesting Venetian-inspired view in which an architecture in ochre tones occupies the center of the composition, accompanied on the left by a large column that acts as a vertical element and structurally frames the scene. In the background opens a port landscape wrapped in a bluish-gray atmosphere, where ships, masts and distant, diffused buildings can be discerned. In the foreground appear various small-scale figures distributed through the space, some grouped and others isolated, contributing movement and a daily dimension to the composition. The artist uses a predominantly earthy, gray-green palette, contrasted by the warm tones of the main architecture and the clothing of the characters. The atmospheric treatment and spatial depth evoke the tradition of the Venetian veduta, although interpreted with a more romantic and scenographic sensibility typical of the 19th century. The work shows restorations, in keeping with its age. The work is presented in a prominent carved and gilded wooden frame, notably wide and richly decorated with vegetal motifs. It features scrolls, leaves, fruits and carved ornamental elements distributed around the entire perimeter. Its gilded finish, currently with patina and signs of age, complements especially well the historical character of the painting. There are losses and small imperfections at different points of the carving. Notes The work may incur damage during transport even with proper packaging. In that case, we will require photographs of the damages to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority. Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by an extra charge due to causes such as being outside a continental territory, excessive dimensions or weight of the item. PremiArt will not be responsible for this surcharge under any circumstances. The courier that must cross the Swiss border can be much slower than usual, so, if possible, to speed up the process, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so that the customer can unlock it and thus it can reach its destination. Experience has taught us that this is the most effective solution for both parties. Due to the high volume of shipments it is possible that the order is delayed more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. If you have any questions about your order, please contact us via internal messaging. Dimensions of the artwork: 33 × 43 cm Dimensions with frame: 47 × 61 cm
