A masterpiece oil painting of a scene of Carnival in Venice with streets filled with masked revellers in the style of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch
A vibrant oil painting depicts a bustling Venetian carnival, with a large crowd of people adorned in elaborate historical costumes and striking masks filling a wide street. The foreground showcases several individuals in detailed attire, including long robes, ruffled collars, and various hats such as tricorns, top hats, and feathered caps. Many wear white, beak-like "Medico della Peste" (plague doctor) masks or classical white Bauta masks, often coupled with black or red outfits. Some figures hold small, intricate objects or glasses.
The background reveals a grand urban landscape of Venice. On the left, a tall, reddish-brown building with multiple arched windows and a balcony draped with colorful fabric (red, blue, yellow) lines the street. Further down the street, archways create a walkway. On the right, similar multi-storied buildings with numerous windows and arches extend into the distance, suggesting a long, picturesque canal or street. In the far distance, a prominent bell tower (campanile) with a green domed top stands tall against a pale blue sky with soft, diffuse clouds. The overall lighting hints at either late afternoon or early evening, with warm, muted tones and atmospheric depth. The style is highly detailed and realistic
