About the Item

‘Piazza San Marco from the Palazzo’ by Edward Pritchett RWS (1807-1876). The painting – which depicts St. Mark’s Square and the Campanile seen from the Porto della Carta entrance to the Doge’s Palace in Venice – is presented in a newly commissioned Chippendale design gold metal leaf frame. Edward Pritchett was one of the most gifted and successful British vedute painters of the 19th century. Unlike a great many of his contemporaries, Pritchett spent time working in Venice whilst on a sketching tour of Europe in 1828. Every other biography of Pritchett you will have ever read will claim that “little is known of his life” other than he “spent more than three decades living and working in Venice”. Neither statement is true. For very much more about the life and work of Edward Pritchett visit the News & Articles page of the Academy Fine Paintings website. Between 1828 and 1864 Edward Pritchett exhibited a total of twenty-three paintings at the Royal Academy, the British Institution and with the Society of British Artists at the Suffolk Street Gallery. Today his work can be found in numerous important collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Yale Centre for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut. Academy Fine Paintings only offers artwork for sale in the finest condition it can be for its age, having been professionally cleaned, conserved, and re-varnished. Clients should also note that tracked and signed for international shipping is complimentary. Dimensions: (framed) 61cm x 51cm (24” x 20”). Dimensions: (canvas only) 46cm x 36cm (18¼” x 14¼”).
