Giuseppe Da Pozzo, (1844-1919) was born of in Maranzanis di Comeglians , in Carnia. In 1863 he moved to Venice to attend the courses of the Fine Arts Academy, completing the with the attendance of the School of painting of the nude (1866-1867). In the seventies he began to participate in major Italian exhibitions with paintings of historical-religious subjects. He was soon attracted by the veritable school of Barbizon and the Impressionists. Pozzo interpreted the landscape with realistic accents and was always careful to document the lives of men. From 1878 he resided in Rome. He made numerous trips to Austria, Hungary and from 1880 to England and Ireland, becoming fascinated in 1888 by Scotland. He participated in the National Fine Arts Exhibitions of Turin (1880, 1884), Milan (1881, 1883, 1886), at the Florence Promotrice (1882, 1883). At the National Exposition of Turin (1884) and the Provincial of Udine (1883) he alternated paintings of genre and of Roman, Carnian and Venetian landscapes

He participated in numerous Venetian Biennials (1897, 1899, 1903, 1912) above all with some portraits. He founded in Rome a school of painting "Academy for ladies", marrying in 1902 one of his pupils, the New Zealander Isabel Cargill, who opened, together with Miss Babington, the famous tea house in Trinità dei Monti. 1903 was a crucial year: Pozzo exhibited numerous portraits, landscapes, genre scenes at the Udine Regional Exposition and was present at the Venice Biennale. In 1907 he participated in the International Exhibition of Fine Arts in Rome with landscapes and watercolors which he had dedicated since 1891. In 1910 he executed for the church of S. Floriano in Maranzanis di Comeglians a shovel rich in Liberty motifs at the Previati. From 1913 is his last participation in the exhibition of the watercolorists of Rome, then the years of war and the disease to the heart he turned away from painting until his death in 1919. Pozzo can be considered the leader of the landscape genre in Friuli, lived the events of Impressionist painting and knew how to seize the art nouveau ferments. More on Giuseppe Da Pozzo

01 Paintings of the Canals of Venice by the artists of their time, with foot notes. #24

Antonietta Brandeis, (Czechoslovakian, 1849-1910)

The Dogana, Venezia 

Oil on panel

12 x 21.4cm (4 3/4 x 8 7/16in).

Private collection

During the fifteenth century, developments in Venice’s commercial activities led to the Sea Customs House, which had previously been near the Arsenal, being transferred to the western point of Dorsoduro. The building as it stands today was completed in 1682, five years before the nearby Basilia of the Salute. Architect Giuiseppe Benoni’s work is characterised by the tower surmounted by a sculptural group representing two Atlases lifting a golden bronze sphere on the top of which is Fortune, which, by turning, indicates the direction of the wind. The building continued to be a customs house, and thus intrinsically linked to the city’s history. More on The Dogana

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. More on Antonietta Brandeis

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
