"Venice" - a painting by I. Aivazovsky, who visited this city in the early 1840s. This trip turned out to be a landmark 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 name, 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 paintings of the painter, nature is the protagonist of this landscape, although the artist depicted people who ride 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 subject, which invariably delighted the public with the colorfulness and truthfulness of the depiction of the urban landscape. "Venice" is a picture in which the basic principles of the painter's work were manifested: an unusually beautiful seascape, a light morning haze in which the morning city is immersed, and gentle warm tones of colors.

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 the European audience primarily as the creator of beautiful paintings 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" - a painting by Campo, which is distinguished by amazing truthfulness and detail in the image. He created a whole gallery of views of the city, capturing canals, narrow streets, small gondolas, old lanes, but most importantly, the last sailing ships of that time got on his canvases. The artist's works breathe warmth and comfort, they are permeated with sunlight and saturated with bright colors that convey the appearance and spirit of this place.
Paintings by R. Bore
Venice is one of the most famous Italian cities. Pictures of artists dedicated to this city occupy a prominent place in the picturesque gallery, their works reflect the unique image 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 the Italian pictorial manner, 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 a lot of light.
The peculiarity of his writing 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 oils, is one of the most sought after in the modern market. As an example, we can name the canvases of T. Williams, who captured the views of the city. A characteristic feature of his work is the use of uneven strokes and mixed colors. Mostly he painted small neighborhoods and canals. R. Fjor depicted the city with amazing accuracy and detail. Masterfully wielding a brush, he paid special attention to the historical specifics of the urban landscape.
So, from the foregoing, it can be seen that the city of Venice attracted the attention of many landscape painters, largely due to its unique architecture and unique landscape.
"Departure of the Venetian Doge for betrothal to the Adriatic Sea".
1730s.
After the gloomy Milan, flooded by the Spanish military, the “Most Serene Lady of the Adriatic”, as this amazing city was then called, appeared before the travelers in all its glory, emerging from the depths of the sea with its canals and bridges, the splendor of palace facades made of marble lace and a festive multilingual crowd. All this stunned the youth on the very first day of their arrival. The city has not yet come to its senses after the recently ended carnival, when all the inhabitants, young and old, fall into crazy fun for a while, forgetting about everything in the world. Even the last poor man or a beggar did not deny himself the pleasure, wearing a carnival costume and putting on a mask, to feast and have fun with everyone until you drop day and night. The carnival mask equalized everyone, and for a while people became almost members of a single family, equally enjoying life.
The Venice Carnival was widely known, and guests from other cities and countries came to it. As a rule, on the eve of the day, a large landing of prostitutes landed in the lagoon, for whom real work was waiting for them in the days of the upcoming crazy bacchanalia. According to tradition, it all started with a pig "corrida" - pigs brought in advance were kept in special pens in the courtyard of the Doge's Palace, and, to the sound of bells, as if on command, they were all released at once. In Piazza San Marco and the surrounding streets there was general pandemonium and the hunt was on for pigs squealing with fear. This festival itself was called "carnival" from the Italian word carne- meat, when the meat-eater comes before Lent, it's time for total gluttony and drunkenness.

Blok wrote about Venice (1909):
Cold wind from the Laguna
Gondolas are silent coffins.
I am this night - sick and young -
Prostrated at the lion's pillar.
On the tower, with a cast-iron song,
The giants strike the midnight hour.
Mark drowned in the lunar lagoon
Patterned iconostasis…
Blok spoke of Venice in a letter to his mother:
“I perceived a lot here, living in Venice already completely, as in my own city, and almost all customs, galleries, churches, the sea, canals are mine for me, as if I had been here for a very long time ... The water is all green. All this is known from books, but it is very new, however - a novelty not striking, but soothing and refreshing.
Gumilyov - about Venice (1912):
... a lion on a column, and brightly
Lion's eyes are burning
Holds the gospel of Mark,
Like seraphim, winged...
Now Akhmatova is about Venice (1912. This year she was Gumilyov's wife):
Golden dovecote by the water
Affectionate and whitening green;
The salty breeze sweeps
Black boats narrow footprints ...
... Like on an ancient faded canvas,
The sky is dull blue...
But it's not crowded in this tightness,
And not stuffy in the dampness and heat.
