Fondamenta della Dogana – Mixed media on canvas – Elio Lazzari

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

In this work of extraordinary elegance, Elio Lazzari captures one of the most fascinating and iconic corners of Venice: the area of the Fondamenta della Dogana. The composition is dominated on the left by the architectural bulk of the historic building, surmounted by the characteristic turret with the sphere, while the quayside in the foreground leads the gaze towards the water of the basin.
Moored boats and the masts of the sailing boats at the centre of the canvas punctuate the space with a measured rhythm. In the background, the soft outlines of the architecture and the lagoon islands emerge beneath a wide, luminous sky, faithfully conveying the rarefied, suspended atmosphere of the city.
The palette, built on a refined range of cool tones, pearl greys, dusty blues and luminous whites, is skilfully contrasted by the dark touches of the silhouettes and by the red of the signature.
The handling is fluid, synthetic and highly evocative; the skilful use of matter and Impressionistic light lends unique vibrancy to the water and the architectural surfaces.
A painting of great charm and collecting value, ideal for lovers of contemporary Venetian vedutismo and atmospheric painting.
