The hand behind it
Ippolito Caffi
Ippolito Caffi painted views of Venice and Rome, but not the sunny postcard kind. He liked night scenes, fireworks, festivals by torchlight, fog and falling snow, and he found new viewpoints on familiar places. He took the view painting tradition of Canaletto and made it moodier and more modern. He was born in Belluno in 1809, trained in Padua with his cousin Pietro Paoletti and studied perspective at the Venice Academy. From 1832 he was based mainly in Rome, where his Last Hour of Carnival in Rome was so popular he painted dozens of replicas. He was also a committed patriot, took part in the 1848 revolution in Venice and painted scenes of the Risorgimento. He died in 1866 when the warship Re d’Italia sank at the Battle of Lissa. Ca’ Pesaro in Venice holds a large group of his works. Snow and Fog on the Grand Canal shows him at his best: a familiar view, turned soft and mysterious by weather.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get Snow and Fog on the Grand Canal in a different size or shape?
Yes. Snow and Fog on the Grand Canal is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in). The original measures 16 x 42 cm (6.3 x 16.5 in).
