View of a Venetian Canal

Oil on canvas (relined). 35 x 65 cm.

Francesco Bruneri (François Brunery) was born in Turin but active in Paris and London. He was a pupil of Jean Léon Gérôme and Léon Bonnats at the École des Beaux-Arts. His views of Venice were apparently highly popular, as catalogues of the salons of 1881 and 1882 both mention views of the lagoon. Bruneri later concentrated on caricaturesque genre paintings with clerics.
