Carlo Grubacs born in Venice in 1812, Carlo Grubacs was the son of a merchant navy captain whose family, originally from Montenegro, had settled in Italy in the second half of the 18th century. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice with Teodoro Matteini (from 1818), later specialising in views of Venice in the great tradition of 18th Century artists such as Canaletto and Guardi. His mostly small-format, lively views are executed with great precision, combining skillful drawing, meticulous attention to detail and a bright and luminous palette perfectly epitomising the Venetian 19th Century Vedutismo poetic.
