After studying at Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts, Franz Leo Ruben went to Rome in 1868 to complete his education. From there he moved to Venice in 1874, where he lived until 1914. In the city on the lagoon the painter was interested above all in everyday scenes of local life. This picture shows children, churchgoers, workers, and flaneurs on the Fondamenta Zattere beside the Santa Maria del Rosario church. However, instead of an idyllic scene with a blue sky and sunshine, Ruben depicts a realistic impression of Venetian daily life in the rain. The focus here is not on the architecture but on people and the general atmosphere.
