E. BERNE
Painting Venice San Giorgio Maggiore Laguna French Art nouveau 20th

1908

About the Item

Edouard BERNE (20th century) Oil on canvas 71 x 82 cm (84 x 107 cm with the frame) Signed and dated lower left “E. Berne / 08” Edouard Berne was a painter and poster artist who lived and worked at the beginning of the XXth century. This view of the San Giorgio Maggiore basilica in Venice and the campanile behind captures the Venetian atmosphere of this island on the lagoon. The large format, the beautiful reflections in the water, a very pretty light as well as the bright colors are very well in the spirit of the luminous and decorative art of the early 20th century. The Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore is located on the water's edge, on an island in the Saint Mark's basin. It was built between the 16th and 17th centuries by Andrea Palladio and Simone Sorella and its church facade is reminiscent of ancient temples. The church is famous for its choir decorated with paintings by Tintoretto (The Harvest of Manna and especially The Last Supper) and for The Wedding at Cana by Veronese which decorated the refectory of the convent (today in the Louvre museum).

  • Antique Oil on Canvas Painting "Dancing Nymphs" Mythological Landscape Scene
    Located in Firenze, IT
    A luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting featuring a mythological scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a myth inspired by the tales of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, a subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs...
