Fondamenta degli Ormesini – Mixed media on canvas – Elio Lazzari

Fondamenta degli Ormesini by Elio Lazzari is a mixed media work on canvas measuring 40 × 50 cm. A view of strong atmosphere, built with chromatic sensitivity and attention to Lagoon light.

In this work of perspectival and luminous breadth, Elio Lazzari depicts the celebrated Fondamenta Ormesini, located in the heart of the sestiere of Cannaregio in Venice. The elevated viewpoint allows the gaze to travel along the fondamenta flanking the canal, dotted with moored boats and surmounted by the characteristic stone bridges
The composition captures the quiet life of the neighbourhood, with stylised figures strolling, terracotta roofs and warm-toned façades that fade towards the background. With his unmistakable vedutista style, Lazzari conveys an authentic, intimate and almost suspended atmosphere of a Venice far from the classic tourist routes.
The palette is a refined combination of warm tones (terracotta pink, ochres and rust of the roofs and façades), balanced by the cool, luminous tones of the canal and the pale sky, which lend great airiness to the scene.
The brushwork is synthetic, assured and textured. The use of zenithal light cuts through the architecture, creating soft contrasts of shadow that accentuate the depth of the urban view.
A painting of great charm and pictorial quality, ideal for collectors and admirers of contemporary Venetian vedutismo and for those who love the most authentic Venice.
