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 - greatest masters landscapes, “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 the 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 sunlight, 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 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 brighter and more dynamic 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 as a 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 the 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 as picturesque and lyrical as 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.

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 great 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 was a very expensive paint in those days. 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 agitated and threatens disaster; personally, this makes my mood sour. 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.

The Last Supper of Tintoretto (Santa Maria Maggiore)
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

Venice in the 15th and early 16th centuries occupies a very special place in Italy. The Venetians themselves were not very willing to contact other regions and provinces of the country. They preferred to stay somewhat aloof. In Italy they were not liked, they were considered traders, people who were culturally underdeveloped. Such fame, oddly enough, lasted for a very long time.
Humanism in Venice was established much later than in Florence and other Italian cities. The Venetians were very proud of their state structure, because Venice is one of the oldest republics in Europe. They called their Republic the Most Serene Republic (Serenissima), and the official name was: “La Serenissima reppublica di Venezia” (“The Most Serene Republic of Venice”). Their patriotism reached the point that at the beginning of the 17th century. their national sentiments were summed up in their response to Pope Paul V: “We are Venetians first and Christians second.” And although this was said somewhere around 1617, similar sentiments prevailed in Venice for a very long time.

Antonio Vivarini. "Adoration of the Magi." 1445-1447 Wood, tempera. State Museum, Berlin.
The Jesuits did not take root here in the 16th century. The Venetians simply did not allow them onto their lands. Here, although the Inquisition formally existed, it was much softer and more lenient than in other Italian cities, not to mention Spain or Flanders. In the 16th century Venice is truly becoming a refuge for many dissidents, for many people who flee to it and emigrate. Pietro Aretino, the first journalist in Europe, as he was later often called, lives here. A very witty, unusually evil scribbler, extremely talented, who kept even the sovereigns of Europe in fear of his sharp words.
Such a certain arrogance, given the cultural underdevelopment of Venice, characterizes its position in the 14th and first half of the 15th centuries. Venice is the richest state in Italy, one of the richest cities in the world at that time. Indeed, the Venetians are, first and foremost, traders. They concentrated trade in the Mediterranean Sea in their hands for many centuries, especially before the fall of Constantinople. And when the Turks took Constantinople, the entire eastern Mediterranean became Turkish. Only in the second half of the 15th century. Venetian priorities begin to gradually wind down. But by that time, the republic had accumulated such colossal wealth in its coffers that there was enough splendor, cultural and secular splendor for the 16th, 17th, and part of the 18th centuries.

For the Venetian artistic culture there was no such acute dilemma: Renaissance or Gothic, as was typical, say, for Tuscany, as we have seen in the example of the Florentine masters of the early and mature Quattrocento. Venice had its problems. The papal influence is felt weaker here, weaker and the direct influence of, say, the Florentine art school. But very for a long time Byzantine influences were very strong in Venice. In fact, the entire first half of the 15th century. in Venice it is heavily Byzantineized. This is easy to understand if we remember that next to Venice, with its so-called “terra ferma”, I note that the territory of Venice itself consisted of the city itself, which stands on the canals and overlooks the lagoon, and “terra ferma” (literally translation: “strong or solid land”), that is, mainland possessions, mainland areas. So, on the Venetian “terra ferma” there were many monuments Byzantine art, classical monuments, including the famous temples of Ravenna, decorated with mosaics.

In Venice itself in the Middle Ages, it was not Gothic that was relevant, but Byzantium. Medieval Venetian churches are covered with Byzantine mosaics, mostly mosaics because fresco in Venice could not withstand the humid air. Sometimes the Venetians painted frescoes, but they have hardly survived. We know that Giorgione worked in fresco technique and painted the German courtyard, a quarter where visiting merchants from the northern countries of Europe, conventionally called Germans, lived. But these frescoes have not survived. We can only guess what they were. We even know that Veronese painted frescoes in some Venetian churches, in particular in the Church of San Sebastiano, but after ten years he himself had to replace the damaged painting, withered due to the humid air, with large panels painted on canvas in oil, and attach them to the walls. All monumental painting Venices are panels painted in oil on canvas and inserted into frames attached to the walls and ceilings of the city's temples and palaces, such as the Doge's Palace.

Brilliant medieval mosaics, full of gold, were often reproduced by the Venetians in the 15th and 16th centuries. in its oil painting. The Virgin with the saints, for example in the scenes of the “Sacra Conversazione” (“Holy Conversation”), will be depicted against the background of apses decorated with gold, Byzantine ornaments and Byzantinizing elements of temple decoration. The mosaics of San Marco and other temples have long been undisputed examples of craftsmanship, beauty and luxury. And the first features of new artistic thinking, the first sprouts of the Renaissance appeared in Venice only in the middle of the 15th century.

“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. It depicts this famous Italian city in the early morning, before sunrise. The author perfectly conveyed the delicate pink colors of the upcoming sunrise. As in all the painter’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 with sunlight and rich 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 show close-ups of 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. Masterfully wielding a brush, he drew Special attention on 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.
