Excellent condition
A large oil painting on canvas depicting the spectacular view of the Basin of St. Mark's with the succession of magnificent Palaces and Monuments overlooking its waters, filled with typical and varied Venetian boats.
An incredible crowd of people fills the Square, the bridges, the docks, the gondolas, and the ships.
The dimensions of the canvas and the elongated shape allow the Artist to describe in an exceptional way all the details of the panorama and to express his excellent painting skills, with a perfect miniature rendering of the architectural details and the boats, in addition to the exceptional teeming of the small figures.
The immediate impact is remarkable, but then the viewer's gaze is lost in the infinite sequence of depictions that make up this extraordinary, unparalleled scene, which continues to fascinate millions of visitors from all over the world.
The work is signed by F. Guarana, an artist active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
His paintings depicting Venetian views are distinguished by an excellent capacity for perspective painting and a scrupulous fineness in brushwork.
