Part of the series Solennità dogali.
English: This work is one of a series of twelve paintings representing the Solennità dogali (The Doge's Solemnities), in which the artist has faithfully copied the scenes drawn by Canaletto and engraved by Giambattista Brustolon to commemorate the festivities at the coronation of
Alvise IV Mocenigo (1763 - 1778), in 1763. This has led to some confusion, and the canvases were formerly attributed to Canaletto, though their style was quite unmistakably that of Guardi.
Under the First French Empire, the series was unfortunately broken up: seven remained in the Louvre, one was sent to Brussels, two to Nantes, one to Toulouse and one to Grenoble. The return in 1952 of the Toulouse painting to the Louvre, through the aforementioned exchange, has been the first step in an attempt to reassemble the set and display them in a special room. Today ten paintings of the series are exhibited in the Louvre.
This painting and another in the series represent the
Festa della Sensa, which took place each year on Ascension Day, the anniversary of the setting out of Doge Pietro II Orseolo's expedition, which achieved the conquest of Dalmatia in c. 1000. In a magnificent state barge, known in fact as the Bucentaur (It. Bucintoro), the Doge visited the Lido and celebrated the marriage of Venice with the Adriatic Sea, by casting a ring into the waters.
The Doge on the Bucentaur at San Niccolò del Lido by Francesco Guardi (c.1766-70)
This particular canvas shows the Bucentaur leaving Venice. Another in the series represents the Doge going to hear Mass at San Nicolò al Lido.
Français : Ces dix tableaux font partie d'une série de douze évoquant les solennités organisées en 1763 lors de l'élection du doge
Alvise IV Mocenigo (1763 - 1778), qui est peut-être à l'origine de leur commande. Guardi a peint les cérémonies qui eurent lieu en mai 1763, ainsi que les fêtes qui les suivirent à divers moments de l'année. La série a sans doute été peinte entre 1775 et 1780, d'après des gravures de Giambattista Brustolon réalisées à partir de 1766 sur des dessins de Canaletto. Quatre de ces tableaux sont déposés par le Louvre depuis 1802: le doge à San Marco (Morassi 243, Bruxelles, musée des beaux-arts), le doge sur la place San Marco (Morassi 244, Grenoble, musée de peinture et de sculpture), le doge remercie le Conseil Majeur (Morassi 246) et le doge offre à déjeuner aux ambassadeurs (Morassi 254, Nantes, musée des beaux-arts); numéros d'inventaire des autres éléments : inv 319, inv 320, inv 321, inv 322, inv 323, inv 324, inv 325 |
