Giovanni Grubacs (1829 - 1919)

Giovanni Grubacs

Giovanni Grubacs was a nineteenth-century Italian landscape painter.

The painter almost always exhibited paintings of Venetian landscapes, but while early in his career he strictly followed eighteenth-century prototypes, in later decades his style fell under the influence of Ippolito Caffi's deep naturalism, which gave life and expression to his works filled with more realistic figure groups, dramatic long views of the city bathed in iridescent atmosphere and illuminated by sudden flashes of light that create unique lighting effects.
