A full-color coffee-table book about Federico del Campo, counting 110 pages, and measuring 7.5 x 0.44 x 9.25 inches.

Federico del Campo (1837-1923) was a Peruvian artist who specialized in painting realistic and luminous views of Venice. This catalogue raisonné provides a complete overview of all known works of Del Campo, as well as a detailed description of his life and career.

The works of Del Campo are a magnificent tribute to the great architecture and rich history of Venice. He combined great technical accuracy in rendering Venetian architecture with light brushstrokes to capture Venice’s daily life and unique atmospheric setting. Most of his oeuvre consists of Venetian palaces, churches, and canals. But he also painted other scenes, including views of the Island of Capri, which, like Venice, was a very popular place among artists. Del Campo was part of a community of mostly foreign artists who created these views as valuable souvenirs for wealthy foreigners visiting Venice on their Grand Tour. His work stands out from that of his colleagues for his attention to detail and the glazing of the waters, making his scenes come alive.
