Ladies on the balcony by Vittorio Carpaccio

Ladies on the balcony by Vittorio Carpaccio

Among the paintings of Vittore Carpaccio there is one that strikes the viewer with its unusual. For a long time, it was customary to call Courtesans on the balcony, “but a careful analysis of the costumes of these Venetian women made it possible to find out that these are not courtesans at all, but respectable married women.” Therefore now the canvas is commonly called Ladies on the balcony. “

Apparently, before it was almost twice as wide and continued in the direction to which the eyes of the ladies were fixed. It is believed that the fragment of this picture may be the now existing as a separate unit “Hunting for water chicks”, coinciding in height with the Ladies on the balcony. “Then, women’s tense postures and their concentration are explained, and then there is more reason to consider this picture genre. Although without a hunting scene it is much closer to the genre than to anything.

The artist accurately conveys here all the details of everyday life. He lovingly subscribes to the zzocoli “- a special footwear that the Venetians loved, and does not forget to place a small room dog next to the ladies.” Genre trends were previously present in Carpaccio paintings, but only in Ladies on the balcony “we have a genre for the genre.”
