Venice

Oil on panel
The canal-laden cityscape and unique Gothic architecture of Venice takes center stage in this magnificent oil painting by Austrian artist Franz Richard Unterberger. Known for his romantic style that focused upon genre, landscape, and architectural subjects, it is his views of this centuries-old "city of water" that are the most desired by collectors.
Unterberger began his artistic studies in 1853 at the Munich Academy. He soon moved on to continue his training at the Weimar Academy under Albert Zimmermann, and by 1859, Unterberger enrolled at the Düsseldorf Academy where he was taught by the famed landscape artist Andreas Achenbach.
Unterberger visited and painted in Norway and Belgium between 1860 and 1874, settling in Brussels during this time in 1864. During this period, he usually spent summers just outside of Paris in Neuilly-sur-Seine, and from there he visited the scenic locales in Italy that would inspire some of his best artworks. The concentration Unterberger placed upon the building facades and the play of light upon the tranquil canals is photographic in execution and detail. He also found great success in Vienna, where he exhibited and received several medals, including the Order of Francis Joseph.
Venice is displayed within its orignal gilt wood frame.
