Charles Clément CALDERON (1870-1960) - Lot 161
Charles Clément CALDERON (1870-1960) Traboccolo on the Grand Canal Oil on canvas signed lower right 92 x 62.5 cm Born in Paris in 1870, Calderon was a pupil of the painter Alexandre CABANEL (1823-1889). Like many artists of his time, he traveled throughout Europe. Of all the cities he visited, it was Venice, the Serenissima, that touched him the most, and which was to be at the heart of his pictorial art. Most of his works depict views of the city, with a few maritime paintings thrown in for good measure. Calderon also traveled to Turkey, from where he brought back views of the Bosphorus. He took part in the 1906 Universal Exhibition in Marseille, where his vivid palette and assertive brushwork made a lasting impression. He died that same year at the age of 36. This oil on canvas shows a view of the Grand Canal in Venice, behind a yellow-sailed trabaccolo (Venetian transport ship), the campanile of Piazza San Marco can be seen.
