SILVER Seller in Venezia, Italy
Within gilded and carved wooden frame The painting, in an excellent state of preservation, shows a large Venetian stream crossed by gondolas and transport boats, with a round-arched brick bridge connecting the two banks. On the right are tall residential buildings in ochre, pink, and ivory tones, animated by small figures; on the left stands a tall reddish bell tower and, in the background, a second, lighter bell tower against the blue sky with light clouds. The work is part of the Venetian vedutismo movement of the post-Canaletti era, highly sought after in the 19th-century tourist and collecting market, characterized by recognizable but often freely composed views. The clear palette and brilliant rendering of the water surfaces hark back to late ‑nineteenth-century production intended for a bourgeois clientele, in continuity with the success of the “views of Venice” created by anonymous masters for the international market.
