Description: | This view of the junction of the Grand Canal and Cannaregio Canal in Venice was first attributed to Francesco Albotto in 1987. The artist based the scene on a composition by his teacher, Michele Marieschi, to whom the Bristol painting was previously attributed. The works of Marieschi and his pupil are often confused because of their stylistic similarity and the scarcity of paintings signed by them. The inclusion of a statue and balustrade at the junction of the waterways dates the picture to after May 1742 when a statue of St John Nepomuk was erected on this spot. | Subjects: | Palazzo Flangini) townscape; place (Grand Canal Cannaregio); buildings and gardens (San Geramia Venice Palazzo Labia | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Albotto, Francesco (Italian painter, 1722-1757) Æ Previously attributed to Albotto, Francesco (Italian painter, 1722-1757) Previously attributed to Marieschi, Michele Giovanni (Italian painter and engraver, 1696-1743) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8893... | Go to resource |
