Description

  • Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto
  • Venice, A view of Il Redentore
  • oil on canvas

Condition

The canvas has a very taut relining. The paint surface is generally sound but the cracquelure throughout has led to some minor paint losses to the lower edge. There are several scattered retouchings throughout, notably to two areas, one in the upper right area of the sky and one in the centre left area of the canal. 2 cm from the upper edge there is a horizontal line of restoration right along the canvas. Offered in a modern frame with some paint losses.
