PROVENANCE:
In the same collection since the beginning of the 20th century
EXHIBITION:
Perhaps Paris, Salon, 1852, n°577 "Le palais Cavalli et l'église de la Salute, sur le grand canal à Venise"
Student of the painters Jules Dupré and Jules No'l, Grandsire stayed in Italy in the late 1840s where he painted several views of the city. At the Salon of 1852, he presented "a view of Venice from the public gardens", as well as - perhaps - this impressive view, representing in the foreground the
Cavalli Palace, the residence of the Count of Chambord.
This composition was reused by the painter, with some variations on the first boats, in a watercolour depicting the Count of Chambord leaving his palace that was recently sold on the Parisian market (anonymous sale, Paris, Hôtel Drouot [Me Collin du Bocage], 13 June 2018, no. 42, reproduced) as well as in a lithograph published in 1850 in an Album de l'exil depicting the various royal residences of the Bourbans in exile (see E. Grandsire, T. Muret, Album de l'Exil, Résidences de la branche aine des Bourbons depuis 1830, lithographs by Lemercier).
