Verified profile

The purchase of the large canvas and the pendant Il Molo verso la Zecca with the column of San Teodoro in 1995 gave a qualitative leap to the evidence of the Venetian school preserved by the Pinacoteca. The two views offer an unsurpassed narrative synthesis, and fix in harmonious balance the virtuosic reproduction of the famous monuments of the lagoon city and the affable representation of a humanity busy in everyday life. To achieve this truth, the artist only partially used the mechanical instrument of the optical camera, managing to mentally construct the views. The elegant carved and gilded wooden frames accompany the canvases from the time of the commission, promoted by 1742. The perfect state of conservation and the absolute autography frame the two views among the masterpieces preserved in the Castello Sforzesco.
