Charles-Clément Calderon was a painter who specialized in scenes of Venice and its canals. This trend was widespread among 19th-century European painters, who traveled to Venice to further their education and training, and who fell in love with the city.
Charles-Clément Calderon was enthusiastic about this perspective of Venice, which he repeated in other works, modifying the light, the position of the gondola and the characters.
The French academic painter Charles Clément Calderon (1870-1906) was an assistant and pupil of the famous painter Alexandre Cabanel.
Calderon became a regular participant in the Paris Salon des Arts, where he exhibited most of his work.
His paintings of Venice at the Colonial Exhibition were highly praised, shortly before his premature death in 1906 at the age of 36.
