CATALOGUE NOTE
Built for Doge Francesco Foscari in 1437, the Palazzo Foscari is a fine example of the fifteenth-century Venetian Gothic style, with its finely carved white Istrian stone façade and pointed arches. With its splendid setting and commanding views across the Grand Canal towards the Rialto, it was chosen as the lodging place for Henry III of France in 1574. It is now part of the University of Venice.
Born Friedrich Nehrlich in Erfurt, Nerly moved to Hamburg at an early age following the death of his parents, where he became the protegé and pupil of artist and patron Baron Carl Friedrich von Rumohr. In 1828 Rumohr sponsored Nerly's first trip to Italy, which the young artist chose to adopt as his home. He spent the first six years in Rome, before settling permanently in Venice. He became so assimilated into Venetian culture that he italianised his name from Nehrlich to Nerly.

DESCRIPTION

oil on canvas
CATALOGUE NOTE
This evocative and atmospheric Winter View of the Grand Canal is an extremely rare depiction of a snow-covered Venice. It shows the view looking down the canal from the Campo della Carità (the moorings at the edge of the square are seen at the extreme right), east towards the church of the Salute and the Punta della Dogana, which the artist outlines in hazy profile against the early morning sky. The large and impressive Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti with its garden is at the left, followed by the Palazzi Barbaro, Benzon Foscolo, Pisani and Succi, which are echoed by other mansions on the opposite shore, including the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni (now the Guggenheim museum) in the distance. Nerly has captured perfectly the light and mood of a winter day in Venice. The cold and slightly opaque morning light seems to muffle the sound of the boats as they pass along the waterway, and the light dusting of snow accentuates the Gothic tracery and flourishes of the great Venetian palaces. In an earlier painting, datable to circa 1835/40, the artist painted the view on a brighter day from a different vantage point, slightly further to the south, from the terra firma of the Campo della Carità, where he shows passengers embarking onto gondole (Art market, London). In the present case, the viewpoint that Nerly has chosen is quite dramatic, almost as if he positioned himself floating above the water itself. Indeed, this might have been the case, as the Ponte dell'Accademia was built to cross this section of the canal in 1854, and it seems that the artist took his view from about the center of the bridge. Indeed the picture would appear to date to just after this time, as suggested by certain details of the Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti. After the untimely death in 1847 of the Austrian Archduke Frederick Ferdinand, who had started to modernize the palace in the early 1840s, it was bought by Henri, Comte de Chambord who hired the architect Giambattista Meduna to make further improvements on the property. During these years the buildings to the west of the structure were pulled down, and a garden—which is visible in the picture—was laid in. The roof of the building still retains in the present picture the Palladian dormer window, with scrolls, that was removed after it was bought by Baron Franchetti in 1878 (the year of the artist's death). Thus a dating of about 1865-75 would appear to be correct for the picture. Friedrich Nerlich was born in Erfurt, in central Germany, and after some initial self-training in art, he was encouraged by the art collector and scholar Baron Carl Friedrich von Rumohr, with whom the artist would travel to Italy in 1828. The painter arrived in Rome, and lived there for six years, Italianizing his name to the more euphonious "Nerly." There he became a leader amongst the expatriate German community of artists, finally moving to Venice in 1835, where he lived the rest of his life. He set up a studio in the Palazzo Pisani, and began to produce more romanticizing and atmospheric vedute of the city, including nocturnal views, and in the present case, a rare winter scene.

Expertise:
Dr. Wolfram Morath-Vogel, Erfurt September 2007:
The original, proved by myself, hitherto unpublished work is
without a doubt one of the versions mentioned by Nerly's first
biographer Franz Meyer (1908), the
Moonlit Piazetta
, which Nerly is said to have repeated thirty six times due to its
popularity. The known versions exists in quite different formats
and always as variants, never as copies of the first pictorial
idea, consequently no two versions are completely alike. Nerly
never initiated a workshop with assistants - no so-called
workshop-copies exists, only works by his own hand. (...)
By the time Nerly painted this expertly thought-through version of
his almost 30 year old pictorial idea which appears to overshadow
even the earlier version kept in the Angermuseum, Erfurt,
gaslighting was already introduced to Venice and already changed
the nightly view on Serenissima. In truth this painting is a sort
of remembrance of bygone days and Nerly himself remarked this on
the overleaf side of the luckily non-relined painting: 1838 im
Oktober/ 8 Tage Maskenfreiheit in Venedig. [1838 in October/8 days
unmasked Venice]. As documentation of the original idea, the
inscription is of invaluable worth, particularly since the alleged
first version in the Angermuseum Erfurt(Stockno. 3019)presents no
dating.
