German School, View Of Piazza San Marco With The Basilica, Venice

German School, View Of Piazza San Marco With The Basilica, Venice

A charming early 20th-century oil on canvas depicting a view of Piazza San Marco in Venice. It’s probably after a work by Apollonio Domenichini (1715-c.1770) who created a fine set of ‘vedute’ (topographical views) of this popular destination.

It’s a painting that gives you a little more every time you return to it.

A label on the reverse bears the artist’s name DL Littmann and the date of 1912. 

Medium: Oil on canvas
Overall size: 25½” x 21½” / 65cm x 52cm
Year of creation: 1912
Provenance: Germany
Condition: Canvas relined. 

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
