19Th Century, Venice: Canaletto Painting anticSwiss 24/09/2021 11:14:34 http://www.anticswiss.com 19th century, Venice: Canaletto painting FOR SALE ANTIQUE DEALER Period: 19° secolo - 1800 Ars Antiqua srl Milano Style: Altri stili +39 02 29529057 393664680856 Height:67cm Width:97cm Material:Olio su tela Price:8000€ DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Follower of Joseph Mallord William Turner (London, 1775 - 1851), 19th century The Bridge of Sighs, the Doge's Palace and the Dogana, Venice: Canaletto painting Oil on canvas, 67 x 97 cm This view reflects the dictates of the landscape painting of nineteenth-century matrix. The recovery is unusual, with the portico of Punta della Dogana taken from the Giudecca. To the right of the painting, the Doge's Palace is clearly visible. Behind it, you can then see the domes of the Basilica of San Marco. To the left, however, you can see the high column with the statue of St. Theodore and, finally, the bell tower of the Basilica of San Marco. The palaces overlooking the lagoon line up and continue beyond the left edge. In the foreground, some gondolas cross the San Marco basin. Above them, the gondoliers, standing, lead the boat while other men are seated below. The sky is clear except for a few white clouds that form the background of the city, while the typical Venetian light spreads from the Grand Canal. The canvas in question represents a derivation from Joseph Mallord William Turner's painting, The Bridge of Sighs, the Doge's Palace and the Dogana, Venice: Canaletto painting, exhibited in 1833 at the Tate Gallery, London. It was the first painting that Turner painted when he arrived in Venice, in 1833, a sort of imaginative programmatic manifesto, a golden apparition of fairytale buildings, animated by the gondola that emerges black from the right and, in the foreground to the left - barely distinguishable inside the graphic tangle of moored boats - from the Canaletto figurine dressed to the oriental, intent on completing his picture. A similar operation had been carried out by the artist thirteen years earlier, upon returning from his first trip to Italy, in 1820, in Rome as seen from the Vatican. Raphael accompanied by Fornarina prepares the paintings for the decoration of the Loggias, a singular historical-celebratory in costume with spectacular architectural reconstructions bordering on anachronism (such as the background perspective of Bernini's colonnade), quite different from the rising plane of the scene Venetian. The work was exhibited at the Turner and Venice exhibition at the Venice Civic Museums in collaboration with Tate Britain in London (4 1 / 3 anticSwiss 24/09/2021 11:14:34 http://www.anticswiss.com September 2004 - 23 January 2005). The atmosphere captured in the painting is suspended. Venice seems bathed in a brilliant and timeless light. The View of the San Marco basin from the Punta della Dogana takes up the famous views from Canaletto, who contributed to spread the myth of the city in Europe. In the painting, Venice is represented as a rich and peaceful city, thanks to its landscape lying on the lagoon, it became the ideal subject of life shots. Alongside the landscape that has the ruins of the past as its motif, spread thanks to Piranesi's prints, and which inspired masterpieces of the early years of Canaletto and Guardi, with the fading of the neoclassical myth, a new phase of Venetian landscape painting is imposed, which it also portrays scenes of urban life. In the nineteenth century the views of Venice have a more modest, more romantically melancholic aspect than the more dynamic and luminous eighteenth- century ones, aimed at still celebrating the grandeur of the Republic of Venice. Authors such as Ippolito Caffi, Bernardino Bison and Guglielmo Ciardi will also create views of the lagoon city. Ever since, with the Elizabethan age, the journey to Italy enters by right in the formation of the European ruling classes, marinas and cities, valleys and ruins have filled countless books of drawings, canvases and engravings, as well as diaries, reports, correspondences. "At one time Parnassus, Elysian Fields and land of the Hesperides", Italy offers tourists - whether noble or rich bourgeois to be refined, artists or writers in a professional capacity - the mutability of nature and the grandeur of the ancient, already started to become fixed in exportable icons. https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/19th-century-venice-canaletto-painting-24388 2 / 3 anticSwiss 24/09/2021 11:14:34 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Museums of Contemporary Art in Preexisting Buildings: Constraints and Architecture the Case Study of Punta Della Dogana and Fondazione Prada
    MUSEUMS OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN PREEXISTING BUILDINGS: CONSTRAINTS AND ARCHITECTURE THE CASE STUDY OF PUNTA DELLA DOGANA AND FONDAZIONE PRADA Thesis Supervisors: Professor Bárbara Coutinho Professor Fulvio Lenzo Author: Beatriz Loreto Crespo de Jesus Agostinho Extended Abstract The present article regards the process of converting preexisting buildings into museums of contemporary art using two study cases: Punta della Dogana, in Venice, and Fondazione Prada, in Milan. Additionally, this investigation aims to identify the factors and the limitations that affect the development of the adjacent architectural project and to understand the architectural solutions created in each case. With these goals in mind it was necessary to contextualise, historically, the museological institution as well as the evolution of its morphology. At the same time, a detailed analysis of the two case studies took place starting by the systematisation of technical drawings, bibliographic research and numerous visits to the respective locations. The dissertation document is made up by five chapters from which the first consists of the introductory guide lines for the investigation and the last two being the reached conclusions followed by the used bibliography. On the second chapter, a brief study regarding the History and the Architecture of museums of art takes place, focusing on the period inbetween the 18th century and the 20th century. The museum, being an entity with multiple dimensions - mission, programmes, morphology, among others – needs to adapt to its surrounding circumstances in order to survive (Schubert, 2009: 11). Since the 18th century this institution has changed accordingly to the social shifts affecting society, therefore, influencing all of its dimensions and its relation with the public.

  • Saint Mark's Square As Contested Political Space
    SAINT MARK’S SQUARE AS CONTESTED POLITICAL SPACE: PROTESTING CRUISE TOURISM IN VENICE [ReceiveD 21st October 2020; accepteD February 21st 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.119] AlexanDer Araya López Ca’ Foscari University, Venice < [email protected]> ABSTRACT: Saint Mark’s Square is unquestionably the most famous tourist attraction in Venice, a piazza characterised by its complex history, unique aesthetics anD many allusions to power (given its proximity to the Doge’s Palace anD Saint Mark’s Basilica). This square is the largest open space in the city anD while it is routinely crowDeD with tourists from all over the worlD, political Demonstrations have been prohibiteD since 1997. This article explores Saint Mark’s Square as a contested political space by focusing on the many local struggles against cruise tourism in Venice anD its lagoon. InsteaD of constituting an ‘apolitical’ space, the preferreD uses given to the square by local authorities and tourism stakeholders are manifestly ‘political’, producing a space of leisure and consumption that benefits the economic logic behinD the ‘normal’ functioning of the piazza. Other alternative social anD political uses of the square are not only DiscourageD but banned, which brings into Discussion the Lefebvrian notion of the right to the city: who has access to the centre as a (political) privilegeD space? The article examines protest acts undertaken by the collective No Grandi Navi, particularly the political events that took place after the MSC Opera collision with another tourist vessel anD the Dock in June 2019. KEYWORDS: public sphere, protest, cruise tourism, policing, urban spaces. IntroDuction: Global mass tourism anD Venice as a ‘tourist’ city In June 2020, while the coronavirus panDemic forceD many cities anD tourist Destinations to impose harsh lockDowns, Dozens of cruise ships were stranDeD at Manila Bay in the Philippines (Fonbuena anD McCormick, 2020).

  • Introducing Venice
    INTRODUCING VENICE A fleet of gondoliers, among others, navigates the riches of the Grand Canal (p125) From the look of it, you'd think Venice spent all its time primping. Bask in the glory of Grand Canal pal- aces, but make no mistake: this city's a powerhouse. You may have heard that Venice is an engineering marvel, with marble cathedrals built atop ancient posts driven deep into the barene (mud banks) – but the truth is that this city is built on sheer nerve. Reasonable people might blanch at water approaching their doorsteps and flee at the first sign of acqua alta (high tide). But reason can’t compare to Venetian resolve. Instead of bailing out, Venetians have flooded the world with voluptuous Venetian-red paintings and wines, music, Marco Polo spice-route flavours, and bohemian-chic fashion. And they’re not done yet. VENICE LIFE With the world’s most artistic masterpieces per square kilometre, you’d think the city would take it easy, maybe rest on its laurels. But Venice refuses to retire from the inspiration business. In narrow calli (alleyways), you’ll glimpse artisans hammering out shoes crested like lagoon birds, cooks whipping up four-star dishes on single-burner hotplates, and musicians lugging 18th-century cellos to riveting baroque concerts played with punk-rock bravado. As you can see, all those 19th-century Romantics got it wrong. Venice is not destined for genteel decay. Billion- aire benefactors and cutting-edge biennales are filling up those ancient palazzi (palaces) with restored masterpieces and eyebrow-raising contemporary art and architecture, and back-alley galleries and artisan showrooms are springing up in their shadows.

  • Cruise Planners
    Claire Maguire [email protected] www.islandgirltravelandvacations.com 570-209-7191 VENICE, ITALY OVERVIEW Introduction Venice, Italy, is romance: a bridge arching over a canal, a gondola gliding by, the moon reflecting off water. Venice is history: the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace), Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal, great art and great museums. Venice is modern: the headline names and paparazzi of the Venice Film Festival, the buzzing excitement of Carnival in the 10 days before Lent begins. Venice has a plethora of world-famous museums and artistic treasures. The Basilica di San Marco, with its spectacular Golden Altar; the Bridge of Sighs, where prisoners could enjoy one last glimpse of the beautiful city before entering the dark jail; the Gallerie dell'Accademia, with its collection of art of the 14th-18th centuries; the Peggy Guggenheim Collection of 20th-century art—the list is long. Pick and choose which places you'll visit in-depth, or just skim the surface and soak up the atmosphere. Venice is set on islands connected by bridges, with the Grand Canal as its main thoroughfare, and traffic moves by boats that range from the traditional gondolas to refuse barges. The absence of automobile noise means you can hear the laughter of children from your window, as well as footsteps seemingly just around the corner. But what makes Venice so unique also challenges its existence. The rising sea levels of global climate change threaten the city, and now, more often than in the past, high tides from the Adriatic Sea can flood whole sections of the city.

It brings together the first freestanding column in Paris, erected during the sixteenth century, with vestiges of a circular Halle au Blé (grain market) built during the eighteenth-century and located at the heart of Paris’s most impor- tant housing development at the time. The site was adapted into a Bourse de Commerce (stock market) in 1889. Because of the exceptional nature of this building, it was soon attributed landmark status: the Medici column in 1862, the entirety of the Bourse in 1975, and the dome in 1986—an indication of the significance of the site.
