Charles-Clément Calderon was a painter specialized in scenes of Venice and its canals. This trend was very widespread among 19th-century European painters, who went to Venice to continue their studies and improve their training and who were in love with the city.
Charles-Clément Calderon was enthusiastic about this perspective of Venice, which he repeated in other works, modifying the light, the position of the gondola and the figures.
The French academic painter Charles Clément Calderon (1870-1906) was the assistant and student of the famous painter Alexandre Cabanel.
Calderon became a regular participant in the exhibitions of the Salon des Arts in Paris where he exhibited most of his works. His paintings of Venice at the Colonial Exhibition were highly regarded, shortly before his untimely death in 1906 at the age of 36.  Dimensions: on view: 65cm x 46cm frame: 85cm x 67cm
