# Seaport [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CARLEVARIS, Luca]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 184 x 340 cm ## Commentary This marine view clearly shows Carlevaris's debt to the coastal painting of Dutchman Pieter Mulier, better known as Il Tempesta, who worked in Venice. Carlevaris was born in Udine, the son of a painter, sculptor and architect. After being orphaned as a young boy, he moved in 1679 to Venice with his sister. While scholars have presumed a visit to Rome in his youth, this is undocumented and it is far more likely that he remained in Venice and its environs. Nevertheless, his early works do show some knowledge of the Bamboccianti, perhaps through the art of Pieter Mulier and Johann Anton Eismann, both of whom were in Venice during the last quarter of the 17th century. ## Related artworks - [A Mediterranean Port Scene]() - [Capriccio View of a Mediterranean Port]() - [Palazzo Coccina on the Grand Canal]() - [Piazza San Marco with Jugglers]() - [River Landscape with a Capriccio]() - [Santa Maria della Carità]() - [Santi Giovanni e Paolo and the Scuola di San Marco]() - [Seascape]() - [The Bridge for the Feast of the Madonna della Salute]() - [The Molo, Looking toward the Doge's Palace]() - [The Molo with the Ducal Palace]() - [The Piazzetta and the Library]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
