There are two other Lovisa etched scenes of Venice that are listed. A discount of 20% is available for purchase of a pair or all three of these prints, which would make for a striking display.

This excellent strong and detailed 18th century etching is printed on thick, laid, chain-linked paper with wide margins. The sheet measures 16.5" high by 22" wide. There are scattered small faint spots, a tiny tear at the upper edge of the right margin, as well as remnants of a thin strip of hinging material along the upper edge of the verso. The print is otherwise in very good condition.

Domenico Lovisa (1690-1750) was an Italian engraver and publisher. His publication 'Il gran Teatro di Venezia, ovvero raccolta delle principali vedute e pitture che in essa si contengono', contained 122 topographical views of Venice. It was commissioned by a group of Venetian aristocrats who were proud of their city and may have been motivated by an interest in promoting commerce and tourism.
