Watercolour By Alberto Prosdocimi - View Of The Basilica Della Madonna Della Salute In Venice

This watercolour by Alberto Prosdocimi depicts a view of the Basilica della Madonna della Salute in Venice and bears the artist's signature in the bottom left-hand corner. This work is framed in a coeval 'Venetianina' frame, made of carved wood, lacquered and highlighted in gold. Its overall dimensions are 77.5x106 cm.
Frames of this type, commonly called 'venezianine', were widely used by Venetian painters in the late 19th and mid-20th century.
An anti-reflective and anti-UV museum glass protects the work, helping to preserve it over time.

The work is published on page 17 of the catalogue edited by Marco Dolfin, of the exhibition '20th century in the lagoon, Venetian views from private collections' held in Mestre from 6 to 28 April 2024.
