Description: | A souvenir piece, showing a view of San Giorgio Maggiore in the distance behind gondolas and sailboats. This painting appears to be by the same hand as View of the Piazzetta, Venice (MNEMG 00.1873.37), which was attributed to Canaletto by old labels on the reverse and in museum records. These two paintings are closer to the simpler works of Luca Carlevaris (1663 - 1730). Carlevaris is considered the predecessor of Canaletto and Guardi, and specialised in painting views of the city in vigorous perspectives. | Subjects: | townscape; place (Venice); figure; buildings and gardens (San Giorgio Maggiore) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Carlevariis, Luca (Italian painter and printmaker, 1663-1729) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Canaletto (Italian painter, 1697-1768) Previously attributed to Italian (Venetian) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8627... | Go to resource |
