Palazzo Albrizzi (or Palazzo Bonomo Albrizzi ) is a palace in Venice , located in the San Polo district , near the Ponte delle Tette and not far from Campo San Polo and Sant'Aponal .

Before being  the historic residence of the Albrizzi family , the palace had been built by the Bonomo family at the end of the 16th century . A typical sixteenth-century manor house, the palace has been particularly well preserved in its original architectural features, becoming the home of the noble Venetian Albrizzi family .

Palazzo Albrizzi is articulated on three levels, with mezzanine and mezzanine in the attic. It has two main facades, one on Campiello Albrizzi and one on the stream. Both are centrally characterized to the two noble floors by overlapping serliane and by four single- lancet windows in stone frame. More on Palazzo Albrizzi 

Antonietta Brandeis (also known as Antonie Brandeisova and Antonio Brandeis) (1848–1926), was a Czech-born Italian landscape, genre and portrait painter, as well as a painter of religious subjects for altarpieces.

She was born in Miskovice in Eastern Europe. The first bibliographical indication of Antonietta Brandeis dates from her teens, when she is mentioned as a pupil of the Czech artist Karel Javurek of Prague. After the death of Brandeis' father, her mother, Giuseppina Dravhozvall, married the Venetian Giovanni Nobile Scaramella; shortly afterward the family apparently moved to Venice.

In the 1867 registry of the Venetian Academy of Fine Arts, Brandeis is listed as being enrolled as an art student. At this time, Brandeis would have been nineteen, and one of the first females to receive academic instruction in the fine arts in Italy. In fact, the Ministry granted women the legal right to instruction in the fine arts only in 1875, by which time Brandeis had finished her education at the Academy.

During her first years of study there is evidence of Brandeis' skill-in her first year she is awarded prizes and honors in Perspective and Life Drawing. Brandeis’ continuing excellence and diligence in her artistic studies during the five years she spends at the Academy is attested to in the lists of prize-winning students.
