Description: | Signed: yes Description: The rising tide of tourism during the nineteenth century created demand of high quality souvenir images of Venice. Jean Joseph Benjamin-Constant's view cannot be particularised but provides a rose-tinted image of the narrow canals and bridges that criss-cross the city. Constant studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under Cabanel. He first exhibited his work at the Salon in 1869. He was greatly influenced by a stay in Morocco, turning from historical to oriental subjects, and later, around 1880, to portraiture. | Subjects: | townscape; place (Venice) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Constant, Jean Joseph Benjamin (French painter, 1845-1902) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8445... | Go to resource |
