Impressive sailing ships with high masts, the red-white-red of Austrian flags fluttering in the wind. Intricate gondolas and buildings that seem to float on the water like the boats. The details of this view from the Strada Nuova promenade in Venice are delicately painted and meticulously recorded. Time and again the great watercolorist Rudolf von Alt felt the draw of the South; he was in Venice on multiple occasions. 1833 was the year of his first visit to the city on the lagoon. At the time he was accompanying his father Jakob Alt who, like his son, was a specialist in landscapes. In Venice the artist painted numerous watercolor studies, using these later on in his studio as the basis for oil paintings, as was the case with this work.
