Luigi Lanza
20th century Venetian view of the Grand Canal, by the bridge Ponte degli Scalzi

Circa 1910

About the Item

This vibrant and atmospheric Venetian scene by Luigi Lanza captures the timeless allure of Venice’s Grand Canal. Lanza, celebrated for his ability to render the play of light on water and architecture, has masterfully depicted the bustling energy and elegance of this iconic cityscape. The composition is centered on a dynamic view of the canal, where gondolas and working boats glide across the shimmering, textured surface of the water, animated by lively brushwork. In the background, the majestic Ponte degli Scalzi bridge arches gracefully over the canal, framed by rows of richly colored Venetian buildings rendered in warm terracotta and ochre hues. Lanza’s handling of the sky is particularly evocative, with patches of bright blue breaking through expressive, swirling clouds, lending the painting a sense of movement and immediacy. The painter’s palette is characteristically fresh and luminous, capturing the ever-changing reflections on the canal’s surface, where dappled light bounces between boats and buildings. The bustling waterfront scene is brought to life with fine details: the figures navigating gondolas and barges, the suggestion of market activity along the right bank, and the varied textures of stuccoed facades. Lanza’s distinctive style, rooted in late 19th- and early 20th-century Venetian vedutismo, fuses tradition with impressionistic spontaneity. His confident, energetic brushstrokes suggest both a deep familiarity with the city and a painter’s delight in capturing its fleeting moods. This work is a quintessential example of Luigi Lanza’s mastery of Venetian views, offering not only a decorative spectacle but also a window into the vibrant daily life of Venice. It would make a superb addition to any collection of Italian or European landscapes, resonating with collectors who appreciate the romance and atmosphere of Venice rendered by a painter of undeniable skill and sensitivity. the painting has been framed in a new English hand made frame.

American late 20th century Impressionist landscape with figure, cottage, Sheep.
Located in Woodbury, CT
Well painted American Impressionist landscape signed Everet. The artist was a Chinese/American painter who lived and worked in Hackensack, New Jersey. I met the artist on many occasions in the late 1990s when I lived in New York and he was a very talented and pleasant chap. I asked him to paint different commissions for a client who wanted a certain color or subject and he was always able to amaze me with what he could produce. I have many paintings by him in my own collection. This is an oil on canvas. The piece was in a private collection towards the late 1990s and has been recently re-framed and revarnished. The artist worked for an Art Gallery called Art...
