Catalogue Note
Treppenhaus der Scuola di San Rocco in Venedig was formerly in the collection of the Archduke Ludwig Viktor of Austria from the House of Habsburg. The present work was sold as part of the Archduke's estate sale in 1921, when the contents of Klessheim Palace near Salzburg were auctioned. After retiring to the palace in 1866, Ludwig Viktor had became known as a philanthropist and patron of the arts. He died in 1919 at the age of 76.
