Water Carrier in Venice

The painting depicts several figures in a historical setting by the seashore. Two young men stand in the foreground, one leaning against a railing looking out to sea, the other with a cigarette. Next to them are two women, one with a bucket and the other with a basket on her shoulder. Children play in the background and in the distance we can see boats and architectural elements of the city.

An American classical painter, Frank Duveneck (1848-1919) was the son of German immigrants. He studied in his hometown of Covington with a local artist. For his origin and Catholic beliefs, he was not accepted by the local community and therefore went to Munich to study at the Royal Academy. Despite his precise and realistic direct images, he was continuously rejected and overlooked. He began to get proper attention only in 1875. He travelled abundantly to Italy - Water Carrier in Venice and Germany, where he was an object of interest for many art students in his art school in Munich. After the death of his wife, he went back to America, where he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts. Many of his paintings ( Landscape at Polling) are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.
