About the Item
Signed and inscribed "Veduta di S. Girgio Maggiore, e la punta della Giudeca / all Ospedaletto in SS. Gion e Paolo No. 5245 dimandar / Giacomo de Guardi" (en verso)
Gouache on paper
Italian veduta painter Giacomo Guardi composed this impressive view of the San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. The 16th-century Benedictine church was designed by the famed architect Andrea Palladio on the island of the same name, and Guardi captures it in all of its classical Renaissance grandeur. In addition to being a monastery, the church famously houses a number of paintings by Jacopo Tintoretto, including The Last Supper. Its impressive façade has been captured by a number of artists over the years, including an important series by the Impressionist Claude Monet. Depicted from a low vantage point, the grandeur of the church is perfectly realized with Guardi's renowned eye for architectural detail in the present work.
By the mid-18th century, Venice had become renowned as the center of production for vedute, a genre of highly detailed cityscapes, or vistas. The Guardi family were arguably the genre’s greatest practitioners, and they are historically considered to be the last true painters of the Venetian School in its classical form. Both Francesco Guardi and his son Giacomo painted the San Giorgio Maggiore; Francesco’s version of the scene is currently in the collection of the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg). In both subject and style, it closely resembles the present gouache by his son.
While scenes like these appealed to the wealthy Italian elite, they were most popular amongst English travelers and other cultivated tourists partaking in their Grand Tour. Giacomo's masterfully executed works in watercolor and gouache were the perfect souvenirs that captured the picturesque beauty and architectural drama of Venice. This gouache is an exceptional example of his output, capturing the lasting grandeur of the City of Water.

- View of the Ovo Castle in the Moonlight, a 19th century Neapolitan gouacheLocated in PARIS, FRNeapolitan gouaches appeared in the eighteenth century when tourism in the Naples area was developing: the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii made this city a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour, the journey made by wealthy Europeans to complete their education. Generally small in size for ease of transport and affordable in price, these gouaches were the ideal travel souvenir that these tourists of the early days were bringing back to capture the idyllic landscapes they had discovered during their journey and to share them with family and friends upon their return at home. The Bay of Naples and the eruptions of Vesuvius are the favourite themes of these views. Here we have a view of the Ovo Castle, which was rebuilt on the island of Partenope, in the middle of the Bay of Naples and about a hundred metres from the shore by the Normans in the 12th century on antique ruins...Category
