Description : Veduta di San Marco dalla laguna di Venezia

Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. The glimpse of the view is taken from a landing stage on the Grand Canal and is centered on the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute. The church with the bank on which it is located create a horizontal dividing line between sky and sea, shaded in the same chromatic ranges which are then interrupted only in the mooring in the foreground. Ezio Pastorio, originally from Cremona but transplanted to Valseriana after his studies, is considered "a great Italian master of the 20th century, who knew how to renew the artistic language of the landscape while maintaining a strong link with 19th century painting". His production is post-impressionist in nature, especially in the large landscape production that depicts the Po and Bergamo plains, the Venetian lagoon and some Parisian glimpses, admired during some travels. In his works, Pastorio creates suggestive atmospheres using infinite ranges of colours, which harmonize and sometimes even contrast, but always presented as a transparency which annuls the static nature of the representation and with a delicacy which expresses his devout religiosity towards nature and the created. The work, coming from a private collection, is presented in a frame.
