Antoine Bouvard
St. Jean-de-Bournay  
(1870 -1956)

We present a splendid and unpublished pair of magnificent Venetian views. They are two autographed canvases by the famous French landscape painter Marc Aldine (Antoine Bouvard), considered one of the most valid illustrators of the Lagoon City of the early 1900s. The two works depict a spectacular image of the Grand Canal and a fascinating scenario featuring the silhouette of the Salute Church taken from a distance from a landing stage. The author expresses his extraordinary pictorial skills in an incomparable way with a magical effect of lights and shadows and with an incredible explosion of colours. The infinite chromatic range creates a fantastic, almost surreal atmosphere, which lends itself well to defining the exceptional characteristics that distinguish Venice and its uniqueness.

The pair of paintings, which constitute a rarity for the French Master's production, match perfectly and are complete with their beautiful original frames which further enhance the enjoyment of the images with an excellent wall effect.

The canvases are intact and in excellent condition without the slightest retouching.
