The work represents the emblematic places of Venice: the Grand Canal and the Doge's Palace. On the Grand Canal, a gondola is placed in the foreground. In the background, we see several sailboats. Several characters animate the scene. Everything is bathed in a golden light.

The work is painted on panel, in excellent condition. It is signed lower left, in the dark part.
It is offered in a magnificent old gilded frame, in very good condition (some lack of gilding on the edge, not visible from the front).

The artist
Alfred August Felix (Alf) BACHMANN is a German painter born in 1863 in Dirschau. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia). He moved to Munich in 1891 and died in Ambach in 1956.

Bachmann is famous for his views of Venice, Istanbul but also the coasts of Portugal and Normandy. He focused primarily on coastal landscapes, but did not neglect meadows and hills. From 1887 onwards, he regularly participated in the exhibitions at the Glaspalast in Munich. In 1913, he won a gold medal at the Glaspalast exhibition in Berlin. In 1917, he received the Grand Austrian Gold Medal for services rendered and, in 1952, the German Service Cross.

His works are held in several German museums. They have been the subject of numerous public auctions in France and abroad.
