Dating to around 1940, this atmospheric work was painted by the Italian artist, Carlo Padovani. No birth date for Padovani can be found but it is assumed that he was born around 1915. Many of his works surface in Europe where they are keenly sought after. His paintings, frequently of Venice, show him to have been a devotee of Impressionism yet he follows in the traditions of Italian vedute painting.
