Lucia Ponga degli Ancillo (1887-1966)
 "Venice, the Grand Canal"
 Oil painting on canvas
 First decades of the 20th century
 Canvas size 110 x 75 original frame 127 x 92

This large canvas, which depicts one of the most fascinating views of Venice, is a work of Lucia Ponga, a talented Venetian painter of the '900.

Her painting is distinguished by a very particular style which, continuing the tradition of the great masters, reproduces the famous views of the Serenissima revisited in a modern style with evident impressionistic references.

 The composition is in fact characterized by a myriad of brightly colored brushstrokes to create a kaleidoscope with a bright and vibrant chromatism.
The result is truly amazing, certainly helped by the extraordinary image of the fantastic view depicted.
 The reflections of the water are a magical play of light, with the long series of famous buildings that are reflected in the canal.
 The painting is of great decorative effect, perfectly framed and in excellent condition.
