View of the Grand Canal with Santa Maria della Salute English painter active in Venice, 1820-1850 Oil on canvas 33 x 42 cm View of the Grand Canal enlivened by gondolas and figures along the banks, with the dome of Santa Maria della Salute dominating the background.The work is characterised by a material and vibrant pictorial drafting, evident in the reflections of the water and in the luminous transitions of the architecture. The rendering is atmospheric rather than analytical, according to a romantic taste typical of the production destined for the Grand Tour market in the first half of the 19th century.The small figures, treated with synthetic brushstrokes and decisive chromatic touches, lend liveliness to the scene.Within a contemporary gilded frame.
