Circle by BARTOLOMEO PEDON (Venice, 1665-1732), ca. 1700. "Port Scene". Oil on canvas. Re-coloured. It presents very slight repainting. Measurements: 98,5 x 72 cm; 113 x 88 cm (frame). We are in front of a maritime landscape of great evocative power. The sun hides among the clouds, timidly tinting a port landscape with golden lights and silhouetting the figures portrayed in the scene. The artist combines an attentive gaze on nature with an imagination that overflows reality, thus overlapping parallel worlds, as Vernet did. In this lakeside composition of the Venetian school, the proximity of Bartolomeo Pedon and his "caprices" is evident: the poetic port landscape is animated by figures who attend to different professions: porters, fishermen, etc. The masts of the boats, the boats' masts, the boats' masts, the boats' masts, the boats' masts. The masts of the boats against the sky break the horizontality of the composition and give it dynamism. The meticulous reproductions of anecdotal episodes coexist in the same painting with the general impression of a majestic landscape. 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.
