Follower of Francesco Guardi (Venice 1712 – Venice 1793) – Venice, view of the basin of San Marco with the island of San Giorgio.

71 x 115 cm (without frame) – 86 x 130 cm (with frame).

Oil on canvas, in wooden frame.

Francesco Guardi is the key figure in eighteenth-century Venetian veduta, renowned for his unrestrained painting, capable of dissolving architecture and figures into a fabric of vibrant light. This painting follows his stylistic path, evident in the rapid, frayed brushwork and the warm palette, here expressed in olive and golden tones.

The view depicts the basin of San Marco towards the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, recognizable by the dome and bell tower of the Palladian basilica on the left. The broad, panoramic view captures the bustle of lagoon traffic, with sailing boats and gondolas traversed by figures whose foreground depictions recall the typical repertoire of Guardi's caricatures.
