Venetian painter (19th c.) - Swimmers in the lagoon.
65 x 83 cm (unframed) - 76 x 93.5 cm (framed).
Oil on canvas, in a carved and gilded wooden frame.
The scene depicts a moment of everyday life on the Venetian lagoon: a boat with a few figures is at the center of the composition, with a young diver standing on the bow about to dive. In the background, some sailboats animate a lagoon under a bright, veiled sky. The palette, dominated by the cool tones of the water and sky, and the loose brushwork in rendering the reflective surfaces, recall the tradition of late 19th-century lagoon landscape painting, in the orbit of Guglielmo Ciardi and Pietro Fragiacomo.
