Michele Marieski

Michele Marieschi was an Italian painter, known for his landscape and cityscape paintings, primarily of Venice. Born in 1696, Marieschi was a pivotal figure in the veduta genre, a style focusing on detailed and often idealized representations of cityscapes. His works are celebrated for their architectural detail and the lively, fresh use of paint, distinguishing him from his contemporaries like Canaletto. Michele Marieschi's paintings often featured exaggerated perspectives, infusing scenes from life with the novelty of capricious invention​​.

His career included a significant period from 1735 to 1741 when he was registered with the Venetian painters' guild, indicating his recognition and establishment within the Venetian art community. In 1741, Marieschi published a set of 21 prints of Venice, providing a lasting legacy of his perspective on the city's unique landscape. This collection, titled "Magnificentiores Selectioresque Urbis Venetiarum Prospectus," included a self-portrait, underscoring his role in documenting Venice's architectural splendor​​.

Michele Marieschi's approach to vedute was influenced by his early work in scenery painting, allowing him to create urban views marked by an inventive use of perspective. This stylistic choice offered a new dimension to scenes taken from life, setting Marieschi apart from his peers​​.

For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Michele Marieschi's works represent a unique blend of architectural precision and imaginative composition. His influence on later painters, including Francesco Guardi, underscores his importance in the development of the veduta genre​​.
