About the Item

A fine and historical Palatial oil on Canvas by August Wolf. Entitled Venetian Festival . This large oil on canvas was commissioned by Count Adolf Friedrich Graf von Schack, a collector of works by Italian and Flemish Old Masters. Von Schack sent Wolf to Venice in 1871 to copy old Masters. The legend holds that this monumental work was commissioned directly by Emperor Franz Joseph 1 of Austria, who asked the artist to portray each member of the Imperial family as a noble Venetian. The scene would take place in a luxurious villa in Venice ,which the Emperor had rented out for his protege. It was purchased from the Munich Art Museum at the dawn of WW1 by the ambassador of the United States in Germany . Beautifully custom framed .
