About the Item
Johann Baptist Kreitmayr (1819 Munich -1879 Ebenda)
View of the Doge's palace in Venice, 1848
Oil on canvas, 35.4 x 28.5 cm - with frame, 47 x 40 cm
The painting under consideration depicts a glimpse of the facade of the Doge's Palace in Venice, the Porta della Carta (the monumental entrance to the palace) that connects the building to St. Mark's Basilica and part of the basilica itself, observed from the Piazzetta that flanks the large St. Mark's Square and overlooks the Venetian lagoon.
The German artist of the first half of the 19th century masterfully took up the pictorial genre of Veneto vedutismo, a typically 18th-century phenomenon that found the epicenter of its development in Venice. The first Venetian view with a certain date, by Gaspare Vanvitelli, is from 1697, and the earliest datable ones by Luca Carlevarijs are from 1703, while the death of Francesco Guardi in 1793 and the last days of the Venetian Republic in 1797 mark the end of the production of this genre of painting. There is no shortage of views of Italian cities with earlier dates (such as Gentile Bellini's Procession in St. Mark's Square and Vittore Carpacci's Miracle of the Relic of the Cross at the Rialto Bridge, both dating from around 1500).
We can consider the genre of Italian vedutismo a "creature" of Vanvitelli (1652-1736), who, of Dutch descent (Gaspar van Wittel), trained in the Passi countries and then moved to Rome: from 1680 he made drawings and paintings of Roman views, traveled to Naples, Florence, Bologna and Venice. Following Vanvitelli's trip to Venice, the artist Luca Carlevarijs (1663-1730) also began to try his hand at producing views.
In the 1720s a new stage in the development of Venetian vedutismo began with the appearance of Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto (1697-1768). While the paintings of his predecessor Carlevarijs are highly decorative, richly colored and basically linear, Canaletto's paintings, such as St. Mark's Square to the Basilica (1723, now in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid) the figures and details of the buildings are subordinate to the atmosphere. While Carlevarijs figures betray provenance from individual sudi, Canaletto seldom resorts to these means: his figures blend with the environment, the sunlight, the cloudiness, the atmospheric representation, the busy characters, everything is conceived according to the effects of light on things.
Other great names in the genre include Michele Marieschi (1710-43), whose works are characterized by a rapid and lively brushstroke; Bernardo Bellotto, Canaletto's nephew and among his most fruitful pupils; and, finally, Francesco Guardi (1712-93) who, although he began his career as a specialist figure painter, would later devote himself extensively to this genre, making light and atmosphere the protagonists of his works, thanks to Canaletto's teaching.
The vedutistic experience of the Venetians would have direct continuation in nineteenth-century painters, such as Giovanni Migliara (1785-1837) or Renato Borsato (1927-2013), to the point of influencing the art of painters of European greatness, of the magnitude of John Constable (1776-1837) or Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875).

- DivideBy Doug FreedLocated in Tulsa, OKDivide by artist Doug Freed is a deep blue contemporary abstract landscape oil on canvas painting that measures 72 x 96 and is priced at $18,000. Doug Freed attempts to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. In his luminescent multi-paneled oil paintings Freed tries to find the gray area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. Artist Statement For nearly twenty years, I made non-objective grid structured paintings. I started to see references to landscape in these works. I've literalized those references by painting oil landscape vistas of horizons, clouds and bodies of water. These paintings consist of two or more vertical panels. Usually one panel is landscape imagery. The adjacent panels are often atmospheric voids with vestiges of recognizable landscapes. I try to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. My intent is to create paintings imbued with a meditative, spiritual presence suggesting issues about time and ecology. I do this by softly modulating color, tone and value. The color varies from quiet, monochromatic works to fully orchestrated chromatic ones. By blending from one hue to another I create color which makes its self gradually felt, weeping forth. In this manner, I create illusions of mysterious emanations of light, places where ones eyes and spirit are invited to linger. I try to imbue my work with a monumental presence, epic in both size and scope. I do this by orchestrating the separate elements of color, texture and structure into a harmonious whole. I seek a somewhat reductive image rich in value and contrast. The surface of the work is devoid of textural incidence. I don’t want anything to distract from the illusion of depth so I deny any marks which would hold the viewer on the surface of the painting. In my luminescent multi- paneled oil paintings I try to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. The compositions are about ambiguities of form and void, foreground and background and surface and deep space. My roots lie in tonalism, color field painting and minimalism. However, my work contains an ever-present awareness of the dramatic use of light of the post-renaissance chiaroscurists. It combines a classical awareness of structure with a romantic use of color always in combination with a unique sense of ambiguity. My work continues in its evolution of style the search for an abstract means of probing the ambiguities of physical and spiritual experience of light, and its power to foster a more intense life of the spirit through profound emotional experience of form, color and composition.
