Description: | This view of the Campo Santa Maria Formosa, at Venice, looking south is painted by one of the minor followers of the famous Venetian view painter Canaletto, possibly Francesco Albotto, an assistant and follower of Michele Marieschi. In the background is the church of Santa Maria Formosa, with its campanile, which is actually much more stocky than shown here. On the right-hand side male and female figures come and go and stand around, some of them wearing the typical maschera e bauta used in eighteenth century Venice during the carnival and other periods of festivity. | Subjects: | townscape; place (Venice) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Marieschi, Michele Giovanni (Italian painter and engraver, 1696-1743) Æ ttributed to after Previously attributed to school of Canaletto (Italian painter, 1697-1768) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8769... | Go to resource |
