Francesco Guardi Art
Italian, 1712-1792
Francesco Lazzaro Guardi was the talented Venetian painter, unlike Canaletto, does not aim, in his paintings, at clear perception, but proposes an interpretation of the real subjective and evocative data, creating images of still lifes and evanescent cities, reaching pre-romantic moods, thanks to the crumbling forms and melancholy shadows. Francesco Guardi's most important later works include the Doge's Feasts, a series of twelve canvases celebrating the ceremonies held in 1763, for the election of Doge Alvise IV Mocenigo.

Dicono di Angini
Tra spiritualità e colore
La scomposizione delle sue opere è frutto di quella della sua anima, sempre alla ricerca
di qualcosa che vada oltre. Nei suoi occhi, come nelle sue tele, c’è una malinconia
“viva” che ci attraversa e ci emoziona, trasportandoci in un mondo fantastico e
complesso; come lui. Tutta la sua vita è stata una sperimentazione artistica volta alla
conoscenza di sé, degli altri e del mondo che lo circonda. Nei suoi colori predomina il
giallo della luce divina e della speranza.
Una consapevolezza del sé ottenuta mediante la sperimentazione artistica come
strumento di conoscenza, come atto di autoriflessione, attraverso l’indagine del proprio
vissuto, in costante tensione con l’esterno, quasi volesse far emergere quel tripudio di
emozioni che tiene nelle stanze della sua anima.
Olimpia Bruni
Intervista con Dalì
Da un’idea di Josè Van Roy Dalì, “In mostra con Dalì”. Un progetto d’arte che si
concretizza in una mostra itinerante, in omaggio al padre Salvador Dalì.
Lo scorso anno partiva, come una caccia al tesoro, presso la Galleria Tondinelli, nel
favoloso scenario del Complesso Monumentale di San Carlino delle Quattro Fontane, a
Roma, la prima edizione della mostra itinerante con la partecipazione degli artisti:
Vittorio Angini, Graziano Peretti, Fausto Ciotti, Ileana Della Matera, Loredana Bendini,
Ada Cardilli, Patrizio Veronese e Mario Spigariol.
Tra gli artisti in mostra di particolare rilievo – non togliendo prestigio agli altri
partecipanti – le sorprendenti opere del pittore aretino Vittorio Angini. Invitato nel 2007
su segnalazione di Josè Van Roy Dalì, figlio d’arte del famoso pittore catalano, a
partecipare alla “Quadriennale d’Arte Contemporanea”, tenutasi a Roma presso il
“Vittoriano”, Angini collabora attualmente all’importante progetto d’arte “In mostra con
Dalì”. I suoi quadri si trovano in collezioni private negli USA, Canada, Australia,
Nuova Zelanda, Sud Africa, Inghilterra, Irlanda.
La sua pittura, risplendente di luce diffusa, penetra nella nostra capacità e sensibilità di
stimolare ricordi ancestrali, che pensiamo sepolti nei meandri della nostra memoria. In
molte delle sue opere par di cogliere una sorta di metempsicosi del colore, che nelle sue
ricercate tinte pare trasferirsi, espandersi, in ogni angolo della tela, fluttuando oltre le
rigide forme del contorno, e dove la sacralità della luce rischiara quelle impalpabili zone
della nostra anima in cui risiedono i sentimenti e le emozioni più profonde. I riverberi
della luce scaturita dal colore allargano l’immagine, che pare perdersi, oltrepassare i
confini della percezione visiva, quasi ad illustrare, ad indicare la strada di un mondo che
necessariamente dimora e vive oltre il quadro, espandendosi in orizzonti più ampi. Le
forme, i paesaggi, i giochi di colore, i ritratti, appaiono come effigi della nostra
esistenza, che coesistono nell’intercalare del ticchettio del tempo che scorre.
Addentrarsi nelle parole di Josè Van Roy Dalì è sempre oltremodo affascinante e
l’incontro avvenuto presso la sua casa museo mi ha fornito l’occasione per
approfondimenti sul pittore Vittorio Angini e su “In Mostra con Dalì”.
D. I quadri di Angini, che ha voluto appartenessero sin dagli esordi al suo “viaggio”
itinerante, svelano le verità nascoste dei nostri desideri e della nostra immaginazione.
Trovano affinità con le Sue opere d’arte ed il Suo percorso pittorico?
R. Prima di tutto trovano affinità con il mio gusto e con il mio senso estetico del bello.
Inoltre, scavando nel “labirinto” artistico di Angini, tra i lavori del passato e nei vari
percorsi, ho trovato molteplici mondi paralleli multicromatici, che mi hanno fatto
apprezzare ulteriormente il lavoro di questo artista.
D. Ho avuto modo di ammirare tra le molte opere esposte nella sua galleria privata,
appunto in Via Salvador Dalì, quelle di Vittorio Angini. So che sono state largamente
apprezzate nel mondo della cultura e dell’arte. Un suo parere strettamente personale su
tali opere?
R. Il modo immediato di trasmettere, attraverso i colori, indefinibili emozioni, con la
medesima semplicità di un grande romanziere.
D. Maestro, in questa interessante esposizione “In mostra con Dalì”, ciascun artista
presenterà, accanto alle sue, tre opere. So che ha fatto la ricerca dei pittori presenti in
mostra con molto impegno e serietà, con quale criterio li ha selezionati?
R. Ho saputo “ascoltare” le vibrazioni del colore e individuare, attraverso le varie
tematiche, la peculiare sensibilità di ogni singolo artista. E poi, per dirla tutta, mi sono
affidato al mio gusto personale, immaginando quali fossero le opere che avrei gradito
collocare nella mia residenza… e quali tra queste, avrebbe apprezzato anche mio padre.
D. Com’è sbocciata e che traguardi vuol raggiungere questa mostra? È puramente un
omaggio a suo padre Salvador o è un omaggio ad entrambi i Dalì o...

This drawing, which bears the signature "Fr Guardi", is included in the catalog raisonné of Guardi's drawings (Guardi - I designi) published by Antonio Morassi under number 435 (reproduction number 433).
In this drawing, probably executed at the end of his life, Francesco Guardi (1712-1793) depicts a partly imaginary view of the villas located along the Brenta Canal. Those villas, set along the canal that connects Venice and Padua, were one of the traditional holiday destinations of Venetian aristocratic families. The long succession of sales in which this drawing appears allows us to trace it back to its first known owner, Dominique-Vivant Denon, who certainly bought it in Italy, either during his long stay in Venice (1786-1793), possibly from Guardi himself, or during the Napoleonic period.
1. Francesco Guardi, a protean artist
Francesco Guardi was born into a family of artists: his father Domenico (1678 - 1716) was also a painter, as were his two brothers Gianantonio, known as Antonio (1699 - 1760) and Nicolò. His sister Cecilia married the painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
Art historians estimate that Francesco Guardi painted his first vedute around 1755-1756; the painting of vedute heralded therefore the second stage in his life as a painter, as he was in his mid-forties. His first views of Venice were painted under the influence of Canaletto, whose studio he may have attended. In 1760, as he took over the family workshop on the death of his brother, who until then had run it focusing largely on the production of religious and historical scenes, allowed him to discover and flourish in this pictorial genre. His second son Giacomo (1764 - 1835) joined him and was the last painter of the family. Until his death Francesco remained a fertile painter who painted with extreme ease and speed, and this explains the large number of canvases (over a thousand) that constitute his corpus.
The themes explored by Guardi in this second part of his life are multiple but can be classified in three broad categories, which are quite permeable: beside the views of Venice, which constitute the most well-known part of his drawn and painted work, Guardi was a great illustrator of the Venetian festivals and breathed new life into to the Caprice, a pictorial genre that mixes imaginary representations of architectural landscapes, often inspired by the sites of the lagoon and scenes de genre.
In its Vedute, Guardi succeeds in the tour de force of radically renewing a genre in which Canaletto had excelled. Moving away from the descriptive reality of his predecessor, he created a new, magical vision. Reversing the general tendencies of European art marked by the advent of the neo-clacissism, during the last thirty years of his life, Guardi developed a more and more personal style, gradually freeing itself from the framework of strict figuration by privileging evocations rather than representations.
In his Vedute, Guardi sometimes abandons the narrow frame of the lagoon for firm ground, as in 1778 at the time of his voyage to Trentino, or when carrying out a series of paintings representing Venetian villas which were accompanied by some drawings, following the request of John Strange, the British "Resident" in Venice.
2. Description of the artwork
This drawing, recognized by Antonio Morassi as an autograph work by Francesco Guardi, is a unicum in the artist's corpus. Although it may be similar to other drawings of Venetian villas commissioned by John Strange, it is likely to be a later work, mixing real and imaginary elements.
At a bend of the Brenta, on the right we can see an imposing Palladian villa and on the other bank two villas separated by a sort of nymphaeum. They are isolated from the road that runs along the canal by high walls in which three monumental portals open, one of which is decorated with statues.
In the middle of the canal the Burchiello advances. It was a river boat with a large wooden cabin, finely painted and decorated and lit by windows on each side. This boat was used by the wealthiest Venetians to travel from Venice to their country villas.
Boats like this were rowed from St. Mark's to Fusina, from where they were then pulled by horses to Padua. The absence of horses tells us that the boat is probably on its way down the canal to Venice. In an amusing detail at the far left of the drawing, Guardi has elliptically depicted a horse-drawn carriage, pulled by a single horse that seems to be at full gallop, as if trying to catch up with the Burchiello.
The villa on the right has a majestic peristyle from which a flight of steps emerges. The composition seems largely fanciful since these steps stop on a balustrade located at mid-height and do not appear to give access to the garden below. The garden is embellished with kiosks, as if for a waterside party, with a circular fountain...
