Description from the seller
Important painting by:
GIUSEPPE RIVA (Bergamo 1861 - 1948)
“ Venezia “ XXL
Oil on canvas laid on board in an elegant period frame, hand-carved with decorative filaments in silver and ivory
- Size: 114 x 89 cm
- Canvas: 100 x 70 cm
Magnificent Venetian view depicting the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute overlooking the Grand Canal. The work stands out for its refined luministic rendering, the delicate chromatic range played in greens and blues of the lagoon, and the broad clouded sky that gives the composition a generous sense of perspective. The gondolas and boats scattered along the canal animate the scene with discretion, while the reflections on the water amplify the atmospheric suggestion. A painting of notable executive elegance, able to evoke the timeless charm of the most iconic and romantic Venice.
Prestigious early 20th-century frame:
Carved and decorated wooden frame, in a Baroque-Rococo taste, with rich scrollwork, foliate and floral relief motifs. Antique ivory and silver finish with decorative patina. Excellent pairing with the Venetian view, which enhances its monumental character and refined luminosity.
Ideal for furnishing prestigious spaces and large halls
Ideal for collecting and investment
Condition Report: Excellent preservation state, the canvas has been mounted on a panel for conservation purposes
With a legally compliant certificate of authenticity
