We are pleased to present this oil on canvas painting from the first half of the 20th century. This splendid painting is signed in red lower left: C. Rizzi.
This is a splendid glimpse of the city of Venice. The painting depicts a view of the famous Bridge of Sighs, a classic subject of Venetian landscape painting. The Bridge of Sighs, designed by Antonio Contin, connects Palazzo Ducale to the New Prisons. Its name comes from the legend according to which prisoners, crossing it, sighed as they glimpsed the outside world for the last time through its small windows.
The artist of this painting perfectly captures the melancholic and evocative atmosphere of one of the most iconic canals of Venice, with a gondola in the foreground that guides the gaze towards the arch of the bridge. The artistic quality is remarkable; observe carefully how the artist depicts every architectural detail with very personal brushstrokes.
A wonderful painting that will enchant your guests! If you have visited Venice and love Italian cities, you absolutely must add this splendid painting to your collection!
The painting is presented in a stunning black lacquered wooden frame with fine details that create a fantastic color combination. Slight defects in the black lacquering (see photo details)
