Venetian painter (early 20th century) - Carnival in Venice in Piazza San Marco.

Venetian painter (early 20th century) - Carnival in Venice in Piazza San Marco. 40.5 x 55 cm (unframed), 46.5 x 62 cm (framed). Oil on canvas, in a carved and gilded wooden frame. The scene depicts a moment of carnival festivity in St. Mark's Square in Venice, set in a nocturnal or twilight light. The Campanile and the silhouette of the Basilica stand out against the turquoise sky in the background. The composition is enlivened by numerous figures in 18th-century costume, ladies, gentlemen, and masks, gathered around a central table in a lively and carefree movement. The brushwork is loose and rapid, in an Impressionist style, with a palette centered on harmonies of green, ochre, vinaccia red, and white, which gives the overall effect of mobility and atmosphere. The treatment of the figures, barely sketched but identifiable in their costumes and gestures, recalls certain solutions of Venetian genre painting between the 19th and 20th centuries.
