An official meeting, probably of a religious or ceremonial nature, with the presence of a prelate in white robes surrounded by dignitaries, notables, and family members, in a richly wood-paneled environment. In the center, a reclining dog introduces a note of everyday life. The canvas testifies to Grezler's ability to combine the realistic description of the figures with a scenographic taste of Venetian origin, close to the genre painting of Pietro Longhi and Gaspare Diziani, but with a more choral and narrative tone. Technique and support: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 54X71 cm Signed: Lower left and dated 1788. Condition: Good Reference bibliography: P. Zampetti, La pittura veneta del Settecento, Venice, 1967. M. Favilla, R. Rugolo, La pittura di genere in Veneto tra Sei e Settecento, Milan, 2001. Entry "Grezler, Gaetano" in repertories of Venetian art of the 18th century. Notes: Grezler's works, rare on the market, are appreciated for their documentary value on the social and private life of 18th-century Veneto. This canvas, for its compositional breadth and variety of figures, represents a significant example of his production intended for aristocratic or upper-middle-class commissions.
