Venice, view of the Piazzetta San Marco
Oil on canvas
H_36.5 cm W_42.5 cm
This painting follows in the tradition of 18th-century Venetian vedute
and draws inspiration from the compositions of Luca Carlevarijs (1663–1730), regarded
as one of the pioneers of Venetian veduta painting. In 1703, the artist
published his famous collection *Le Fabriche e Vedute di Venetia*, bringing together 104
engravings depicting the main monuments and views of the
Most Serene Republic. Widely circulated, these prints constituted an important
source of inspiration for veduta painters. These views enjoyed
immense success throughout the 18th century, particularly amongst
travellers on the Grand Tour.
Here, the artist draws on the work of masters of the genre such as
Canaletto, Francesco Guardi and Francesco Tironi.
