EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Piazza San Marco in Venice, captured by the talented artist Bernardo Bellotto around 1740. Painted with oil on canvas, this exquisite piece measures an impressive 136.2x232.5 cm and is now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The scene depicts the iconic Church of St. Mark as its centerpiece, with the majestic Doges Palace standing proudly beyond it. To the right, we see the towering campanile (bell tower) and Procuratie Nuove, a government building that adds to the grandeur of this picturesque square. Notably absent from today's view is the faAzade of the church of San Geminiano which was removed during Napoleon's reign. Bellotto skillfully captures every intricate detail and architectural element in his vedute (cityscape paintings), making him highly sought after by British aristocrats on their Grand Tour. As you take in this panoramic vista, you can almost feel yourself transported back to medieval times when Venetian splendor reigned supreme. The combination of Byzantine influences and Italianate charm creates a truly romantic atmosphere that enchants all who visit. Intriguingly, shadows cast by figures add depth to this baroque composition while emphasizing its rococo elegance. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Bellotto's mastery and his ability to immortalize one of Italy's most beloved landmarks for generations to come.
