GUARDI, Giacomo
(b. 1764, Venezia, d. 1835, Venezia)

View of a Regatta on the Grand Canal

-
Oil on panel, 24 x 36 cm
Private collection

The painting depicts a view of a regatta on the Grand Canal in Venice looking towards the Rialto Bridge, with the Palazzo Balbi to the left. The composition corresponds closely to a drawing in the British Museum by Francesco Guardi, Giacomo's father. It is likely the painting has been executed while Francesco was still alive, while father and son were working closely together in the studio.
