In the 19th century, Venice in paintings is depicted through the tradition of tonal and atmospheric painting, inherited from the past but reinterpreted in a romantic and realistic key by artists like Giacomo Favretto, focusing on scenes of everyday life, evocative atmospheres, reflections on the water, and the charm of monuments. It became a sought-after destination for vedutisti painters and travelers of the Grand Tour, who highlighted its mystery and melancholic beauty.
