Marc Aldine (1870–1957) French
The Grand Canal with view of the Dome of San Marco Basilica and Campanile Tower
Signed, oil on canvas, 32cm by 45cm
Provenance: The Barclay Art Gallery, Chester
Sold for £1,000
Estimated at £1,000 - £1,500
Lined, all keys present, good tension if a little stiff. Impasto a little flattened in the thickest passages with a little moating from the lining process. A few minor areas of stable, flat brittle age craquelure and impact cracks. Passages of more noticable drying cracks, particularly in the buildings. Passages of this are suppressed by a fairly widespread opaque overpaint, including the shadowed areas of buildings (see images in UV). Further opaque overpaint in the sky and water (see UV images). Retouching to obscure drying cracks and likely some abrasion, as the white tops of the canvas weave are visible throughout. Old slightly yellowed varnish, light surface dirt and accretions.
