“Venice” is a painting by I. Aivazovsky, who visited this city in the early 1840s. This trip turned out to be significant in his work, since subsequently Venetian motifs somehow found a response on the canvases of this famous artist. It is known that he painted three works with this title, one of which is now kept in the Tver Gallery. Many other artists also depicted this city on their canvases; some names will be indicated in this article.

Description

“Venice” is a painting that was painted in 1842. She's wearing this famous Italian city depicted in the early morning, before sunrise. The author perfectly conveyed the delicate pink colors of the upcoming sunrise. As in all the artist’s canvases, nature is the main actor this landscape, although the artist depicted people riding gondolas. But they look small against the backdrop of the majestic Italian landscape.

It is known that Aivazovsky paid a lot of attention to Venetian landscapes and even organized an exhibition of his paintings on this topic, which invariably delighted the public with the colorfulness and truthfulness of the depiction of the urban landscape. “Venice” is a painting in which the basic principles of the painter’s work were manifested: unusually beautiful seascape, a light morning haze in which the morning city is immersed, and gentle warm tones of colors.

City views

Another artist who became famous for depicting this city is Federico Del Campo. He worked in the 19th century and became famous as a versatile author, but he became known to European audiences primarily as the creator of beautiful canvases of the Venetian city. Having the opportunity to travel around Europe, he visited many countries, but this Italian city made the greatest impression on him.

“Venice” is a painting by Campo, which is distinguished by its amazing truthfulness and detail in the image. He created a whole gallery of views of the city, capturing canals, narrow streets, small gondolas, ancient alleys, but most importantly, the last sailing ships of that time appeared on his canvases. The artist’s works breathe warmth and comfort, they are permeated sunlight and saturated bright colors, which convey the appearance and spirit of this place.

Paintings by R. Bore

One of the most famous Italian cities is Venice. Paintings by artists dedicated to this city occupy a prominent place in the art gallery; their works reflect the unique appearance of this amazing region not only in Europe, but throughout the world as a whole. The artist R. Bore captured Venetian views in his canvases. Having extensive experience in working in the Italian pictorial style, he perfectly recreated the appearance of this city. His paintings depict close-up narrow canals with gondolas between tall buildings. He used bright, saturated colors, with big amount Sveta.

The peculiarity of his painting is that he made the narrow space between the houses the object of the image, however, unlike Federico Del Campo, he did not strive for maximum detail, but, on the contrary, worked with somewhat blurry strokes, which gives his canvases a unique charm.

Works by other artists

The painting “Venice”, painted in oil, is one of the most sought after on the modern market. As an example, we can name the canvases of T. Williams, who captured views of the city. Characteristic feature his creativity is the use of uneven strokes and mixed colors. He mainly painted small neighborhoods and canals. R. Fior depicted the city with amazing accuracy and detail. Masterly with his brush, he paid special attention to the historical specifics of the urban landscape.

So, from the above it is clear that the city of Venice attracted the attention of many landscape painters, largely due to its unique architecture and unique landscape.

In one magazine I read the following advice: when visiting Italian cities, do not go to art galleries, and instead get acquainted with the masterpieces of painting in the places for which they were created, that is, in temples, scuolas and palaces. I decided to take this advice when visiting.

Churches of Venice, where you can see paintings by great artists:

• B - Chiesa dei Gesuati o Santa Maria del Rosario
• C-San Sebastiano
• D - San Pantalon
• E - Scuola di San Rocco
• H - San Cassiano
• K - Gesuiti
• N - Chiesa di San Francesco della Vigna
• P - Santa Maria della Salute

The Venetian Renaissance is a special article. Having come under the influence of Florence, the artists of Venice created their own style and their own school.

Great Artists of Venice

One of the greats Venetian artists— Giovani Bellini (1427-1516) was from a family of Venetian painters. The Florentine artist Mantegna had a great influence on the Bellini family (he was married to Giovanni Nicolasia's sister). Despite the similarity of their works, Bellini is much softer and less aggressive than Mantegna.

In Venice, paintings by Giovanni Bellini can be seen in the following churches:

• Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (F)
• San Francesco dela Vina (N)– Madonna and Child with Saints
• San Giovani and Paolo (L)– Saint Vincent Ferre
• San Zaccaria (O)– Madonna and Child with Saints

Notice how the artist uses color. Especially, the presence of blue in his paintings - in those days - was very expensive paint. The presence of blue indicates that the artist was in great demand and his work was well paid.

After Bellini, Titian Vecellio (1488-1567) worked in Venice. Unlike his fellow artists, he lived an extraordinary life long life. It is in the works of Titian that modern pictorial freedom arises. The artist was many centuries ahead of his time. Titian experimented with technique to achieve greater expressiveness; in many works he began to move away from realism. He died of the plague and, at his request, was buried in the Church of the Frari.

Titian's works can be viewed:

• F - Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari - Madanna Pesaro and the Assumption of the Virgin.
• K - Gezuiti - Santa Maria Assunta (Gezuiti - santa Maria Assunta) - martyrdom of St. Lawrence.
• P - Santa Maria Della Salute - St. Mark on the throne along with St. Cosmas, Damian, Roch and Sebastian, he also made the ceiling painting.
• I – San Salvador – Annunciation and Transfiguration of the Lord

Tintoretto means "little dyer" (1518-1594). While still young, he announced that he wanted to combine the color of Titian with the drawings of Michelangelo in his works.

In my opinion, he is a rather gloomy artist. In his canvases, everything is constantly worried and threatens disaster; personally, this sharply deteriorates my mood. Critics call this the skill of creating tension.You can see his paintings:

• B – Gesuati – Santa Maria del Rosario – Crucifixion
• J – Madonna del’orto – doomsday and the worship of the holy calf, the Appearance of the Virgin Mary in the temple.
• P – Santa Maria della salute – Marriage in Canna of Galilee
• H - San Cassiano - crucifixion, resurrection and descent into purgatory.
• A - San Giorgio Maggiore - Last Supper. Here you should pay attention to the fact that in this picture the artist is only interested in the position of the holy gifts; all the vanity does not matter except Christ and the sacrament of the Eucharist. It is not the real moment that is depicted here, but its sacred meaning. Besides this famous painting in San Giorgio Maggiore there are paintings of the collection of manna, the descent from the cross.
• G – San Polo – Another version of the Last Supper
• E - Scuola and the Church of San Rocco - scenes from the life of Saint Roch.

San Cassiano

Veronose (1528-1588) Paolo Cagliari is considered the first "pure" artist, that is, he is indifferent to the relevance of the image and is absorbed in abstract colors and shades. The meaning of his paintings is not reality, but ideal. The paintings can be viewed:

• N – San Francesco dela Vigna – holy family with the saints
• D - San Panteleimon - Saint Panteleimon heals a boy
• C - San Sebastian

One of the most beautiful cities in the world is Venice.
The heyday of Venice began with the Renaissance. During this period, Venice was a major trading city, a “republic of merchant kings.” Venice did not lead civil wars, succeeded in trade, the religious cult here was not as strict as in other cities. Public life developed very intensively: ceremonies, celebrations, brilliant outfits. Venice also had its own school of painting, in which decorative principles, elegance, richness of colors and an abundance of pictorial effects predominated. Venice gave the world many famous painters, among whom were Bernardo Belotto (nicknamed Canaletto), Antonio Canaletto, Francesco Guardi - the greatest masters of landscape, “portrait painters of Venice”, glorifiers of its ancient palazzos, churches, canals...
This is what Venice looked like in the 17th and 18th centuries of the last millennium.

Russian artists also paid attention to this beautiful city. Among them is Albert Alexandrovich Benois, Ivan Constantinovich Aivazovski.
Albert Aleksandrovich Benois, after graduating from the Special School of Architecture, traveled around the French Riviera, Corsica, and Italy. Throughout his trip, he painted the most skillful watercolors, but most of all Albert Benoit was seduced by Italy and, first of all, Venice, this unique human miracle.
Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky also visited Italy. And like many masters, he was attracted to Venice. Many painters depicted the sea in their paintings, but only he devoted his entire talent to marine painting.

Speaking about Venice, one cannot fail to note how lovingly the Venetians themselves treat their city. With what pride they bear the responsibilities of hospitable hosts of this beautiful city. Ancient streets and canals, arches and bridges, all of this, although marked with the stamp of time, still attracts artists and tourists from all countries to Venice.
Let's talk about some of them, just like the Venetians themselves, who are in love with this unique city.

Ruben Bore. Born in 1949 in Tashkent. WITH early childhood began to show interest in art, and began drawing at the age of 4. In 1965, Ruben graduated from Tashkent art school, after which he entered the Academy of Arts. Repin and graduated from it in 1976.

The artist traveled a lot throughout Europe, expanding his knowledge and gaining the necessary experience. In 1987, Ruben Bore was invited as a designer and restorer of works of old masters to Milan, and in 1996, he was invited to "The Metropolitan Museum of Art" in New York.
He exhibited a lot. His bright, poetic works, full of sunshine, optimism and color, were exhibited in Tokyo and Paris, Rome and Philadelphia, Israel.
In 1998, Ruben Bore opened art gallery in Rome, where he still works today with his son Alberto, and in 1999 - another gallery in New York, run by his son Eduard.
The artist currently lives in Paris, where he continues to create his magnificent paintings.

Another artist depicting Venice in his paintings is Todd Williams. Todd Williams studied painting and illustration at the Kansas City Art Institute.
A distinctive feature of his works is the spontaneity of brush strokes and creative virtuosity. There is a lot of air in the artist’s paintings. It seems to saturate the surface of the canvas with atmosphere and light, leading the viewer into the depths of the picture.

Todd Williams's work is exhibited in many museums and galleries, such as: Gilcrease Museum, the Great Plains Art Museum, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, The Maynard Dixon Museum, Cincinnati's Great American Artists Exhibition, and the Oil Painters of America National and Regional Exhibitions.

Born in Naples on August 13, 1961. masters with extraordinary expressiveness of painting technique characterize his work much more vividly and dynamically than any art historian and critic. By the age of 34, the artist had achieved wide fame and popularity, thanks to his extraordinary vision and undoubted talent painter.
Regardless of the author's choice of composition theme - neoclassical ladies or gentlemen in the living room, female nudes, landscape or floral still lifes - his brushwork is skilled, dexterous, and constructive.
A special sense of light and color palette reflects the reality chosen by the master; this feeling subtly permeates the composition as a whole.
Fiore is also competent in drawing sketches, which are necessary for a well-thought-out and precisely constructed diagram of the motif depicted on the canvas. Excited by the “concreteness” of things, the master skillfully combines in the painting realistic detailing of the subject with masterly use of the brush; this talent determines the bright distinctive feature his “personal” painting style.

The artist’s paintings are varied in theme, but regardless of the chosen subject, the past and present come to life in his works with the same power of perception, absorbing the experience and sensuality of this painter, a student and follower of the great masters of the past.
Raffaele Fiore - a gifted, graceful painter, portrait and landscape painter, having learned the lessons of the old schools, becomes a "hyper-realistic" artist in modern sense. His works are known and popular both in his native Italy and far beyond its borders.
Fiore is one of the rare, fortunate artists who have a natural talent for inner vision, deeply penetrating into the essence and nature of the world around us, which is reflected in every work of the master.
Every year, the Raffaele Fiore collections are exhibited for the most famous and important international exhibitions contemporary fine art.
It would be possible to continue displaying paintings by artists depicting Venice. Their creations are picturesque and lyrical, like the ancient city itself. But perhaps users themselves will try to search for images of Venice on the Internet and introduce us to their favorite works.
