All details of the painting on: https://www.antichitaischia.it/it/prodotto/venezia--veduta-del-canal-grande-dal-ponte-di-rialto A magnificent view of the Grand Canal taken from the Rialto Bridge, featuring the imposing bulk of the Palazzo delle Fabbriche Nuove which directly overlooks the iridescent waters of the Canal. The elongated shape of the painting makes the splendid perspective of the two rows of palaces, which converge towards the center of the canvas with an excellent volumetric rendering, particularly striking. The author configures the work in a perfectly symmetrical way and divides it into three long horizontal bands. The famous buildings on the banks of the Grand Canal stand out decisively and divide the bright blue sky from the green waters of the canal, full of typical Venetian boats. The symmetry of the view is emphasized by a perfectly horizontal gondola in the center of the scene and by the two bell towers that appear on the sides of the canvas. The painting has all the characteristics of the most beautiful Venetian landscape painting of the 18th century and Its author revisits the style with great effectiveness. The work refers in particular to the views of Antonio Canal known as Canaletto, considered the supreme master and progenitor of this famous school. Among the nineteenth-century reproductions executed by Venetian painters inspired by the eighteenth century, this should certainly be included among the best, with an extremely clean and highly effective image quality. The work is still in first canvas on original frame and has old labels on the back, one dated October 7, 1958, referring to passages of the last century on the antique market.
