About the Item

Gabriele Bella (Venice 1730 – Venice 1799) attributed View of Venice with the Guglie bridge (or the Cannaregio bridge, as it was formerly called) circa 1750/60 oil on canvas, 45 x 60 cm. with frame 58 x 73 cm. The proposed view of Venice, which immortalises the Ponte delle Guglie over the Cannaregio Canal, is a work of excellent quality attributable to Gabriele Bella (Venice 1730 - 1799), one of the protagonists of the grandiose season of Venetian landscape painting of the eighteenth century, whose painting is characterised by an eclectic taste, influenced by the examples of the illustrious prototypes of Canaletto. Due to the quality and type of the figures that animate the painting, as well as the compositional type, noting in particular the rendering of the architecture, the painting can be dated to the second half of the 18th century; the panorama is rendered with a remarkable narrative verve, in fact, while maintaining the Canalettian structure, our author freely describes the activities of navigation and promenading that took place daily in Venice, with a scenic composition also taken from Marieschi. Active throughout his career in Venice, Bella worked for a long time exclusively for the Giustiniani family, patrons who commissioned him to paint a grandiose series of about seventy Venetian views for their home (now the Querini-Stampalia art gallery), depicting the festive life of the Serenissima in its last century of life. In addition to this group of famous paintings, there is a body of work that the painter produced for the rest of his commissions, a series of more traditional views depicting important places and buildings, and to which we can also link our painting. Very well executed, characterised by a slight luminosity and a chromatic range of delicate hues, emphasised by the contrast between light and shadow, the canvas is a very interesting testimony of 18th century Venice, imbued with a poetry that effectively renders the lagoon atmosphere. The view, in good condition, with a not recent relining, is enriched by a beautiful golden frame. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and an iconographic description. We organise and take care of the shipment of the purchased works, both in Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.

Landscape See Paint Oil on canvas Flemish Old master 18th Century Italian Art
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Flemish painter active in Italy in the eighteenth century Coastal landscape of the Mediterranean with architectures and figures Oil painting on canvas (69 x 88 cm., in frame 80 x 100 cm.) The suggestive view proposed depicts a coastal view with a bay and the ruins of an ancient building, probably a monastery or a church, and in the background another building with a garden surrounded by high walls close to the shore. The type of landscape, typical of the southern Italian environment, and the intimate atmosphere that welcomes the scene, attributes the authorship of the work to a landscape painter active in the eighteenth century, presumably in Italy in this period, with immediate references to the Dutch school , and in particular to the production of Jacob de Heusch and above all of Gaspar van Wittel, considered the progenitor of Italian landscape painting. In fact, in the rendering of the architectural details, in the purity with which the buildings have been reconstructed, as well as in the atmosphere that encompasses the entire landscape, a marked correspondence to the so-called "Vanvitellian realism" can be seen: in fact, a comparison with a certain series of views which the Dutchman...
