View of Venice with Ca' Foscari on the Grand Canal and the entrance to the Rio Novo
oil on canvas, cm. 49x61
The painting depicts an atypical glimpse compared to the normal catalogue of Venetian views of the 18th and 19th centuries: in the foreground you can see the Palazzo Foscari (now the main seat of the University) and the intersection between the Grand Canal and the Rio Novo.
Three gondoliers carry their gondola, still with the felze, the cabin that once allowed comfort and privacy to its passengers.
In very good general condition
