A beautiful view of the Grand Canal in VENICE. A scene of every day`s life. Some gondolas floating up and down this town main stream. The reflections of the buildings and boats on the water gives the viewer of the painting the impression of standing right on the Academia bridge, overlooking the church of Santa Maria Della Salute. This is probably the most painted scene of Venice. No painter who's been to Venice has ever resisted painting this view of the town. A truly impressive work of art painted with deep knowlegde of subject,light and shade. Oil on board 24"by 36", by accomplished Italian impressionist, NINO PIPPA .Nino Pippa's italian portraits reveal more about the artist than any biography could. Born on the island of Sardinia in 1950, Nino used oil paints to reflect his mediterranean surroundings from an early age. Having completed his fine arts studies in Cagliari, Rome, Florence, and Venice, the young artist parted from the Italian and French Impressionist style to study with acclaimed British artist, Edward Seago, in the early seventies. Seago guided Nino in developing his talent for vivid brushstrokes and unique colors, enabling him to support himself with his art. Since moving to America, Nino has often returned to his birth nation with paintbrush in hand to capture the life and architecture of Italian cityscapes and coastal villages. These prized portraits have found homes in private collections throughout the world.
