Ramon Tusquets Maignon (Barcelona, 1837 - Rome, 1904)
Interior of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice
Oil on canvas, 86.5 x 69
With frame 99 x 81 cm
Signed to the lower left
The work under consideration depicts the interior of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice; in particular, the painter takes an evocative diagonal view of the transept of the left aisle, where the image of the so-called Madonna 'dello schioppo' can be recognized. On the corner pillar of the left transept in the present basilica is the 13th-century marble relief of the Virgin of the Schioppo. The rifle placed next to the Madonna was offered as a vow by some Venetian Navy soldiers who were prodigiously unharmed by an Austrian bomb blast at Fort Marghera on May 10, 1849. As the canvas lacks this detail, this date results in an ante quem for establishing the chronology of the painting.
The Basilica, the city's cathedral, is not only the most important church in Venice but a symbol of the city and its centuries-long history, as well as representing one of the highest points in the history of Western architecture, combined, due to the Venetian mercantile position and its distinct internationality, with Eastern influences. The history of St. Mark's Basilica began in 828 when the eleventh doge, Justinian Partecipazio, decided to have a church built next to the ducal palace in honor of St. Mark to replace the palatine chapel dedicated to St. Theodore. The fire caused by some rioters in 976 destroyed the building, so in 978 it was rebuilt at the behest of the doge. In contrast, today's structure dates back to the 11th century. It was begun by Doge Domenico Contarini in 1063, continued by his successor Domenico Selvo and consecrated in 1094. After a fire in 1231 and further renovations, the basilica was not completed until 1617. Due to the succession of works and the mixture of influences present, it is difficult to define a style, but it is necessary to consider the different influences, Romanesque, Gothic and Byzantine, here, not placed in antithesis but inserted in a cultural koine, with an exceptional result. The structure of the church is defined on a Greek-cross plan with five domes distributed in the center and along the axes of the cross, from the construction in perforated bricks, light in weight so as not to burden the lagoon soil, connected by barrel vaults. The naves, three in each arm, are divided by colonnades that converge to massive pillars supporting the domes; they are not made as a single block of masonry but articulated in turn as the main module: four supports at the vertices of a square. The canvas under review succeeds in capturing the main elements of the basilica with skill and deep analytical attention, defining its structure as much as its pictorial decoration, allowing us, even more than a photo, to admire the basilica through the eyes of a 19th-century visitor. The painter's hand, fascinated and impressed, as we are today by the grandeur of the basilica and the quality of its decoration, observes every detail with attentive eyes, restoring to the canvas a subject of timeless charm, cared for in every detail, capable of conveying even the atmospheric sensation of the light in St. Mark's, dim, delicate, contrasting with the gold of the mosaics. The presence of some visitors, friars or people in prayer enriches and enlivens the work, also leaving an image of everyday life of the most famous monument in the city of Venice.
