Henri DUVIEUX (ca. 1855-1902) - Lot 166
Henri DUVIEUX (ca. 1855-1902) Venice, view of Saint Mark's Basin Oil on wood panel signed lower right 15 x 24.2 cm Framed (Slight rubbing of the frame) NOTICE Henri Duvieux, French Orientalist painter, is also renowned for his detailed views of Venice, where he accurately captures the light and unique architecture of the city of the Doges. In Venise, Vue du Bassin de Saint-Marc, Duvieux depicts an iconic scene of Venice, with the famous basin in the foreground, dominated by the majestic facades of historic buildings and the shimmering reflections of the water. He uses a palette of light, luminous tones to translate the glint of the sun on the water and the architectural details, bringing this romantic view of the city to life. The work is distinguished by fine detail and a subtle play of light, where each touch of color contributes to rendering the depth and transparency of the water, the luminous facades and the boats that animate the basin. Inspired by the tradition of the Vedutist painters and the Orientalist movement, Duvieux combines realism and poetry, offering the viewer a timeless vision of Venice, evoking both the grandeur and tranquility of this mythical place. In his mastery of lighting effects and architectural rendering, Henri Duvieux is close to painters such as Félix Ziem and Ippolito Caffi, and has established himself as an artist sensitive to the beauty of Mediterranean urban landscapes. His views of Venice, such as Vue du Bassin de Saint-Marc, are sought-after for their ability to capture the magic of this legendary city, combining technical precision with an enchanting atmosphere.
