About the Item

Antique Venice Canal oil painting on canvas of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, signed in the lower right by Italian artist Luigi Moretti (1884-1950). This accomplished oil painting from the 1930's is incredibly eye-catching. The artist has cleverly used light and depth in his endeavour to immortalise a scene on the Venice Canal. On the left of the painting the branches of a tree protrude from a narrow balcony just above the water. This with the other foliage, some draped over a stone balcony, is thickly painted with impasto enforced paints and highlighted with the dawn light appearing out from the side of the building. This light, promising another sunny day, shines on the water below but takes note of the dark and guarded waters next to the building and under the boats. The light is also reflected on the sails of the barges moored to ancient wooden posts, providing nature's wake-up call for another day of toil. The beautiful tonal facades of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute loom across the canal, waiting for the hazy light to lift so that the sun can warm them and all that separates them from the other shore is a lonesome gondola making its early journey down the canal. MORE ABOUT THIS PAINTING: Medium: Oil on stretched canvas. Overall size: 39ins x 23ins or 99cms x 58cm Date: 1930's Condition: The painting is in good vintage condition, you should expect minor imperfections associated with age.
