Francesco Albotto


(Venice 1721–1757) L´Isola di San Giorgio and the Giudecca, Venice, oil on canvas, 76 x 91 cm, framed

Certificate: Dario Succi. Francesco Albotto was a pupil of Michele Marieschi and in 1744 he married the widow of his master.

Dario Succi explains in his certificate that the present painting refers to a composition by Marieschi from 1738 (Castle Howard, Yorkshire) According to Succi the present work represents the technical and stylistical characteristics typical of Albotto, who is distinguished by a brilliant technique, with fine brushstroke and an accurate reproduction of architectural elements. Succi dates the present picture to the second half of the 1750´s.
