Barbarisi (copy after Canaletto) - Venice, Piazza San Marco

The subject of this painting is part of the Vedutismo movement. Vedutismo is a genre born in the 18th century and developed primarily in Venice. Vedutismo painters aimed to represent a landscape objectively and scientifically, placing it as the protagonist of the work. There are basically two types of vedute: the realistic one, taken exactly from reality, and the "capriccio," a fanciful view invented by the painter.

The artist of this copy demonstrates excellent painting technique. He has indeed respected the key characteristics of Canaletto's work. First and foremost, the solid spatial structure, based on two perspective lines. The tonal unity of the entire work, which, through color alone, coherently conveys the atmospheric (sunny, clear) atmosphere of the entire scene. The rapid brushstrokes delineate details with a few rapid strokes, yet allow the image to cohere into a unified whole.

Giuseppe Barbarisi is a painter specialized in author's copies.
