Circle by BARTOLOMEO PEDON (Venice, 1665-1732), ca. 1700. "Coastal View". Circa 1700 Oil on canvas. Re-coloured. It presents repainting and very slight losses in the left margin. Measurements: 72 x 99 cm; 88 x 114,5 cm. In this lacustrine composition of Venetian school, the proximity of Bartolomeo Pedon and his bewitching "caprices" is evident: the real geography is transfigured by a sensualist imagination typical of the rococo period. Several scenes take place in a wide panorama bordered in the background by imposing rocks blurred by mist. In the foreground, gondoliers ply the calm waters and fishermen converse on a promontory. In the middle ground, Renaissance architecture alternates between turrets and domes, which the light makes silver sparkles. The pre-Romantic sensibility that flourished in Venice around Pedon is evident. Bartolomeo Pedon was an Italian painter of the late Baroque period. He painted mainly landscapes, often nocturnal or whimsical architectural whimsy in a wild landscape. In this he seems to have been influenced by Marco Ricci and Antonio Marini, but also by Magnasco and Salvatore Rosa. Many of his works are in private hands. In terms of public institutions, he is in the Walters Art Museum collection in Baltimore, among others. According to other sources, he was born in 1655 in Padua and worked in the monastery of San Benedetto.
