Need help analyzing a painting.

Need help analyzing the painting?

  • http://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/molo-seen-san-marco-basin my teacher is asking "Is it a portrait, a genre scene, a mythological or biblical scene?" It was made in 1848 so I know it during the wild west so which category should this painting fall in? why?

  • Answer:

    Genre works, also called genre scenes or genre views, are pictorial representations in any of various media that represent scenes or events from everyday life, such as markets, domestic settings, interiors, parties, inn scenes, and street scenes. Such representations may be realistic, imagined, or romanticized by the artist. I'd say genre scene.

It is a scene in Italy so I would say it is a genre scene of a waterway and buildings in an area of Italy. This artist was asked by tourists to paint scenes such as this.
