Gabrielli Carelli
Figurative landscape watercolor drawing with 19th century view of Florence

Mid-19th century

About the Item

This watercolor on paper is signed and titled at lower right Gab. Carelli / Florence. It depicts a view of Florence taken from the Piazzale Michelangelo-animated by various figures including a friar talking to a mother with child, while another mother with child rests seated and a water bearer faces-in which some of the most important monuments on both sides of the city can be seen. In the center is the Arno River, which divides the city into two parts, in which the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi overlook can be recognized. In the historic center, the cathedral with Brunelleschi's dome, Giotto's bell tower and the dome of the Medicean Chapels, the tower of the Bargello Palace in front of the Badia Fiorentina's cusped bell tower, the Palazzo della Signoria known as Palazzo Vecchio and the cusped bell tower of Santa Maria Novella. All around are the hills of Fiesole and Settignano as far as Cercina. Also recognizable are Ponte Vecchio and the facade of the Uffizi. Although the historic center is so detailed, the other side of the city, the so-called Oltrarno, is more fictional, a fictional vision in which the dome of the Santo Spirito church stands out below near a hill that could be Bellosguardo or Fort Belvedere. Gabriele Carelli is a Neapolitan artist representative of the Posillipo school, much celebrated beyond national borders: he worked in England, joining the "Royal Society of watercolors" in London, Switzerland, France, Malta and in Boston he received the gold medal to some of his paintings.

    A significant early 20th century landscape watercolor of the paradisical gardens at San Anton Palace in Attard, Malta by Nicholas Krasnoff, 1920 (Russian, 1864-1939). This beautiful piece is a wonderful example of the renowned Russian architect's prized watercolors, created while he was exiled to Malta in the early 1920's.

From 1922 he lived and worked in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and was a key figure in the architectural development of Belgrade. Attending the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1876, aged 12. As a young artist he received patronage from Sergey Tretyakov, brother of the founder of Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery, and entrepreneur Petar Gubonyin. In 1887 Krasnov became Chief Architect in Yalta. At the age of 23, Krasnov had large responsibility for the rapid growth of the city. He expanded the promenade, which by 1913 became the city's main street, before creating a new city plan in 1889 (including a new sewer system, planning regulations, new streets, prevention of unregulated construction, a school and children's hospital, and the construction of the Pushkin Boulevard). Two concrete bridges were built over the river, and the embankment strengthened. Krasnov also ran a private practice in Yalta until 1911. Among his most famous work is the Livadia Palace, later the location of the 1945 Yalta Conference. Designed over 60 buildings in Crimea, blending a modernist style with local traditions. Also of note: Dulber Palace, Koreiz (1895-97), Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Yalta (1902), Yusupov Palace, Koreiz (1909), Kokkoz Jami Mosque, Sokolyne (1910). In 1913, he presented a collection of illustrations he had produced of his works to the Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts, where he held the title of academician. An opponent of the Russian Revolution, he left Yalta with his family in 1919 for Malta, alongside the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna, sister of Queen Alexandra, and over 600 members of the Russian aristocracy. Nikolay was in a group housed in the empty Villa St Ignatius, which had been a Jesuit college and then a hospital during World War I. To earn money, Nikolay painted many scenes of Malta, signing his paintings as N. Krasnoff. He is known as Nicholas Krasnoff in Malta. In May 2016 MaltaPost issued a commemorative set of stamps in his honor. In 1922 Krasnov moved to Belgrade, then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, where he became head of the Department of Monumental Architectural Developments and Monuments. His building designs in Serbia number around 60, and were created under the name Nikola Krasnov, as a mark of respect to his adopted homeland. His key works in Belgrade include: Ministry of Forestry building (now Ministry of Foreign Affairs) (1923) which bears a memorial plaque...
