"On the Grand Canal" by James Salt (1850-1903) signed J. Salt (lower right). This beautiful oil on canvas captures the most painted city in the history of art - Venice.
Painted in a manner which resembles the school of Canaletto with a touch of Turner.
The painting delightfully presents the city with its buildings on water and a few boats and gondolas. In the background the sky is slightly overcast which might indicate that the storm was just about to start.
The artist used very delicate pastel colours to add some mystery to the scenery with some vivid turquoise and slightly golden beige.
In excellent condition having been beautifully cleaned in our workshops, please see photos for confirmation.
