A Venetian scene of the Palazzo Dario by F. R. Unterberger
Austrian, c.1898-1900
Frame: height 97cm, width 85cm, depth 7cm
Canvas: 83cm, width 70cm, depth 2cm
Depicting the Palazzo Dario from the south, looking north from the Piazetta Campielo Barbo, this excellent painting was executed at the end of the nineteenth century by the Romantic landscape artist Franz Richard Unterberger (Austrian, 1838-1902). Choosing to show the Gothic and Renaissance palace, celebrated by the likes of Ruskin, from the south and not from the water, vis-a-vis Monet, Unterberger succeeded in finding a beautiful composition that combined Venetian architecture and waterways with a glimpse of daily life, with a walled garden at the centre of the image.
Unterberger studied in Germany at the academies of Munich and Dusseldorf, the latter a favourite of Scandinavian artists, and he subsequently worked in Scandinavia for a time, honing his skills in the mountainous landscapes. He moved back to central Europe, settling in Brussels from which he travelled across the continent, growing a reputation as a cross-European artist. As his career progressed he exhibited more widely from Antwerp to Vienna to the United States, growing an international reputation and appeal, and worked more and more in Italy, gravitating towards beautiful Mediterranean coastal scenes and city-scapes, with Venice a focal point of his mature years.
This beautiful painting is a superb example of his oeuvre, combining an old-master's eye for detail and composition with a more engaging, lively and inviting touch of a mature Romantic artist. With a wonderful painterly quality, and a real vitality and skilful use of colour and tone, this work is a delightful piece, and offers a unique perspective of this most beautiful of all cities.

Franz Richard Unterberger
Franz Richard Unterberger was a successful 19th-century Austrian painter who specialized in painting the Italian landscape, notably the environs of the Bay of Naples. Unterberger was born in 1837 in Innsbruck. He attended the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich; studied under Albert Zimmermann at Milan and at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Düsseldorf under Andreas Achenbach. He visited Norway in 1860 and then settled in Brussels, where he was strongly influenced by the Belgian school. Unterberger was attracted to the Mediterranean landscape of southern France and Italy and visited the coasts of England and Scotland several times. Unterberger painted his first Italian subject, Party in Naples, in 1866. Like countless others, he was inspired by the beautiful Italian vistas, especially in and around Naples, where he lived for many years. Once established, Unterberger was able to arrange major exhibitions to showcase his works. One of the most famous of these was in Vienna in 1874, followed by one of equal importance in Brussels two years later. Noted for his brilliant use of color and slightly Impressionistic approach, works by Unterberger received the highest praise from both critics and the public.

Depicting a bustling thoroughfare, the canvas is alive with the energy of traders and their vibrant market stalls lining either side of the street. Amidst this animated marketplace are animals like goats and chickens, adding a further layer of authenticity to the scene, and showcasing the artist’s masterful range. A focal point is an elderly man, clad in warm shades of brown and beige, complemented by a vivid head scarf, as he ambles towards the viewer. Adjacent to him, a woman is immersed in a negotiation with a market vendor for an array of fruits and vegetables. Further in the backdrop, a colourful assemblage of individuals can be seen, swathed in a rainbow palette of red, yellow, brown, and blue. Their activities range from strolling towards the viewer, moving into the distance, or engaged in lively discussions.
