Description from the seller
Important painting by:
GIUSEPPE RIVA (Bergamo 1861 - 1948)
“ Venezia “ XXL
Oil on canvas resting on panel 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 facing the Grand Canal. The work stands out for its refined luministic rendering, the delicate color palette played on the greens and blues of the lagoon, and the broad cloudy sky that gives the composition great air 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, capable of evoking the timeless charm of the most iconic and romantic Venice.
High-quality frame from the early twentieth century:
Carved and decorated wooden frame, in a Baroque-Rococo taste, with rich ornamentation of volutes, foliate and floral motifs in relief. Ivory and antique-silver finish with decorative patina. Excellent pairing with the Venetian view, which enhances its monumental character and refined luminosity.
Ideal for furnishing prestigious environments and large halls
Ideal for collecting and investment
Condition Report: Excellent condition of preservation, the canvas has been affixed to a panel for conservation purposes
With a certificate of authenticity in accordance with the law
