🔎 Provenance Story

This evocative Venetian capriccio painting, executed in the manner of Francesco Guardi, was acquired from a long-standing private collection in Bath, once part of a curated group of Continental paintings assembled by a 19th-century English diplomat and his descendants. The collection, inherited by successive generations, reflected the owner's diplomatic postings and romantic admiration for European cultural capitals, Venice chief among them.

The painting — Capriccio with an Archway, Figures, and Rustic Houses — stood in a formal reception room, hung alongside works in the manner of Canaletto and Panini. According to family records, it was likely purchased during a grand tour or commissioned from a Venetian atelier replicating Guardi’s atmospheric style for English aristocratic buyers.

The panel's delicate brushwork, theatrical composition, and subtle patina reflect both its age and quality. Though unsigned, its painter studied Guardi’s architectural fluidity and tonal romanticism closely, capturing Venice not as it was, but as it was remembered — dreamlike, nostalgic, eternal.

Now professionally stabilised and lightly cleaned, this piece carries not only the charm of 19th-century Grand Tour collecting but the spirit of the city itself. It is, in every sense, a window to Venice — framed in time, light, and reverence.
