Vittorio Matiolin (active In Venice In The Early XX) - Bragozzi With Raised Sails On The Lagoon

Vittorio Matiolin (active in Venice in the early 20th century) - Bragozzi with raised sails on the lagoon.

55 x 65 cm (without frame) - 81 x 90 cm (with frame).

Oil on panel, in gilded wooden frame.

Signed lower left: «Vitt. Matiolin».

The painting depicts bragozzi moored on the open lagoon, their large sails — orange-ochre and green — dominating the foreground composition. To the left, two figures of sailors animate the scene on the hull's edge. In the background, a calm and luminous expanse of water with further sailing vessels in the distance, rendered in synthetic touches, conveys the breadth of the lagoon on a windy day. The brushwork is fluid and constructive, with dense impasto on the sails and a vibrant rendering of the water's reflections, fully consistent with the Venetian en plein air painting of the early twentieth century. No biographical documentation on Vittorio Matiolin has been traced to date; the surname suggests Venetian origin, and the date 1920 inscribed on the work places his activity within the same period as the lagoon painters of the early century.
