Description : Veduta di Vienna dal Belvedere, copia da Canaletto

Mixed media (acrylics and oils) on canvas. Painted between the 1960s and 1970s. It is a copy of one of the many views of Vienna painted between 1758 and 1761 by Bernando Bellotto, better known as Canaletto. They are kept in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna. The large view, enlivened by numerous figures in the typical style of both the 18th century's Venetian painting and Canaletto himself, is taken from the upper Belvedere of the same named palace. It was the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, which was built on a hill on the southern part of the city center. A series of large Baroque buildings appear in the background behind the gardens. In particular, the Karlskirche (church of S. Carlo Borromeo) with its monumental dome and the Schwarzenberg Palace with exaggerated proportions. So as the Orangerie and the Lower Belvedere of the Palace. Finally, on the right there is the Salesian Convent. Behind all this monuments, further still in the background, it is possible to see the fortified city center and the spiers of the Stephansdom (St. Stephan's Cathedral). The painting's frame is from the first half of the 1900s.
