View of the Grand Canal
oil on canvas
h 31X51 cm in frame h 59X77 cm
Alfred Pollentine (1836-1890), an English painter known for his production dedicated to Venetian views, stands out for his evocative painting, influenced by a vaguely impressionist taste.
The artist uses a warm and luminous palette, capable of sensitively conveying the reflections and unique atmospheres of the lagoon.
This work depicts a lively view of the Grand Canal, animated by an intense traffic of gondolas and boats, rendered with rapid, vibrant brushstrokes.
The architectures that frame the scene are painted with great pictorial freedom, contributing to the creation of an evocative atmosphere, typical of nineteenth-century Venice. The balanced and immersive composition testifies to the artist's ability to capture the lagoon's daily life, with a lyrical and engaging gaze.
The work was composed during the period of Pollentine's full maturity, during his trip to Italy.
