The Bacino, Venice, with the Dogana and a Distant View of the Isola di San Giorgio
This veduta looking east along the Grand Canal shows the quay at the north side of the Dogana, itself surmounted by Bernardino Falcone’s statue of Fortune on a globe. In the distance is the façade of the majestic San Giorgio Maggiore. Carlevaris animates the painting with scenes from Venetian life, a subject he first studies in preparatory oil sketches. This painting, together with three other paintins in the Robert Lehman Collection (1975.1.87, .89 and .90), form a series.
