19th Century Moonlit Landscape Painting Oil on Canvas

About the Item

19th century Moonlit landscape Measures: Oil on canvas, 67 x 51.5 cm With frame 75 x 59 cm Signed lower left “Luigi Giavazzi” The landscape illuminated by the nocturnal light of the moon that illuminates the sky depicts a collision between natural elements: if on the one hand we find the luxuriant hilly landscape with the rocks covered by shrubs and the grotesque tower with the lion of San Marco on the top, on the another is the stormy dark sea, foaming with foam and furrowed by a reckless ship trying to land at the port. The monument with the lion, a reference to San Marco and the city of Venice, perhaps alludes to a battle involving the Republic, of which even the worn and tattered flag bears witness, perhaps precisely to a naval clash between enemy cities. The typically 19th-century gloomy and romantic atmosphere is given by the ivy branches that envelop the column and the dark cave on the edge of the slope, together with the stormy sea and the leaden sky with the clouds that thin out and let the rays of the full moon pass through. that sheds light on the landscape, a symbol of victory over the enemy and of the rosy future that envelops the city.

  • 19th Century View of Venice Painting Oil on Canvas by Charles Lebayle
    Located in Milan, IT
    Charles Lebayle (Paris 1856 - 1898) View of Campo San Zanipolo in Venice Measures: Oil on canvas, 62 x 36 cm With frame, cm 71 x 45 signed at the bottom right This suggestive Venetian view represents one of the most famous equestrian statues of the Renaissance, the Bartolomeo Colleoni executed by Andrea del Verrocchio, and the imposing church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo (also called San Zanipolo in Venetian dialect) located in Campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo also known as Campo San Zanipolo. It is one of the largest fields of Venice, located in the Castello district, on the border with that of Cannaregio, where in addition to the two mentioned monuments there is also the Scuola Grande di San Marco, ancient and precious place that before the dispersion housed paintings such as The miracle of San Marco ( Gallerie dell'accademia), the Discovery of the body of San Marco ( Brera) the theft of the body of San Marco ( Gallerie dell'Accademia) by Tintoretto but also paintings by Gentile and Giovanni Bellini...

  • 19th Century Portrait of Tiziano and Rembrandt Couple of Paintings Oil on Canvas
    Located in Milan, IT
    19th century Portrait of Tiziano Vecellio and Rembrandt Measures: (2) Oil on canvas, 25 x 18.5 cm Frame 46 x 37 cm The two portraits depicting the artists Tiziano Vecellio and Rembrandt are to be counted among the reproductions of those famous self-portraits made by the two painters throughout their careers. As far as Titian is concerned, the artist creates numerous self-portraits that shoot him in different ages of his life and in different poses from time to time. An example is the one kept in the Prado Museum (Tiziano Vecellio, Self-portrait, 1560, oil on canvas, 86 × 65 cm, Museo del Prado, Madrid), which portrays the now elderly master, as in the present case. The thick white beard reaches almost to the chest, depicted almost in profile, while here the bust is frontal and the face turned three-quarters; his gaze is then turned to the outside of the painting and his expression seems tired and thoughtful. The broad forehead is uncovered and cut by a tight black bonnet from which no hair comes out. A thin white collar separates the face from the rest of the body dressed in an elegant and sober black dress, just like in this portrait. The figure clearly emerges from the background devoid of objects or furnishings, so that nothing distracts our gaze from the image of the famous artist who thus wants to be remembered. Another example is the self-portrait in Berlin (Self-portrait, 1552, 96 x 75 cm, Staatliche Museen, Berlin), which depicts the elderly artist, but decorated with a rich dress and placed in a physical space. Finally, the lost self-portrait in oil on paper, cited by Vasari in his Lives in 1545, keeps a low profile, as evidenced by the rather modest dress...
