PROVENANCE
Private Collection, Venice
Private Collection, Italy
During his short career, Marieschi alternated realistic views of Venice with fanciful ones, or capricci. These small views are stylistically less formalised than the vedute and show a rapid execution with fluent brushstrokes, typical of the artist. The staffage is most likely by a different hand, as not unusual for Marieschi (see: F. Montecuccoli degli Erri and F. Pedrocco, Michele Marieschi, La vita l'ambiente, l'opera, Milan, 1999, cat. nos. 41-48).
The attribution was confirmed to the present owner by Ralph Toledano and Filippo Pedrocco.
