He discovered photography in Paris and opened a studio in Constantinople, but in 1857 he was in Venice where he worked in Carlo Ponti's atelier, then in his own ateliers in St. Mark's Square and Campo San Maurizio and in the store at the Procuratie, which achieved great commercial success and appreciations for the technical and aesthetic quality of his works. A famous “forgery” trial he won against some colleagues who sold his photographs as their own gave birth to copyright law. Two elements characterise Carlo Naya’s style: the cultural background stemming from his passion for art, refined by his direct observation of ancient works – including the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, which he would go on to reproduce magnificently – and the technical mastery he had already acquired in the days of the daguerreotype, which enabled him to quickly establish himself internationally for his exquisitely detailed views of Venice. Whilst other photographers often confined themselves to a specific perspective, Naya stood out for his attention to detail, as in this image which highlights a corner of the Doge’s Palace, emphasising its forms and features. This large-format volume is a true gem, notable on the one hand for its meticulous investigation, which sheds light on a facet of the lagoon city often overlooked by both residents and, above all, tourists, and on the other for the consistently superb quality of the photographs. It is a work that lies halfway between a meticulous topographical survey and the pursuit of a consistent artistic vision.

Albumen print, handcoloured cm 42,5 x 55,5 | 16.7 x 21.9 in. Unique work Carlo Naya (Tronzano Vercellese, Vercelli 1816 - Venice 1882) heir to a rich landowner after graduating in law, as an art lover he made a grand tour of Europe, Asia, Egypt. He discovered photography in Paris and opened a studio in Constantinople, but in 1857 he was in Venice where he worked in Carlo Ponti's atelier, then in his own ateliers in St. Mark's Square and Campo San Maurizio and in the store at the Procuratie, which achieved great commercial success and appreciations for the technical and aesthetic quality of his works. A famous “forgery” trial he won against some colleagues who sold his photographs as their own gave birth to copyright law. Two elements characterize Carlo Naya's style: the culture that came to him from a passion for art refined by direct vision of the works of antiquity including that Scrovegni Chapel in Padua that he would magnificently reproduce; the technical skill acquired already in the days of the daguerreotype that enabled him to establish himself quickly internationally for his highly accurate Venetian views. While other photographers often restricted themselves to a precise view, Naya was noted for choosing to make large prints called extragrand or impérial and for the skill with which he intervened by coloring them, as is very evident in the photograph of the Bridge of Sighs. Even more interesting and spectacular is the shot of St. Mark's Square with the Procuratie and Doge's Palace acting as backdrops. Here he is at his best in his specialty of the so-called “moonlight” print obtained by mounting in register two negatives - one of the daytimes shot and one of the sky from which the sun peeks out - and then printing on colored papers to achieve a night-time effect.

Est: €750 - €1,000
Carlo Naya (1816 Tronzano Vercellese - 1882 Venice) Circle: Bird's eye view of the San Marco district with the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Tower as well as large and small ships on the water, Venice, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: Lower middle inscribed on the support: "- Venise. Vue prise de l'île de S. Giorgio - ". Date: c. 1880 Description: The picture, taken from the platform above the bell tower of the church of San Giorgio, shows a particularly frequently used motif that has helped to create those clichés in the minds of tourists and collectors that have become iconic for the lagoon city: The San Marco district with the sights of the Palazzo Ducale, the Basilica and domes of San Marco, the Campanile and Library of Sansovino. The Campanile forms a vertical axis, while the horizontal is emphasised by the horizon line in the distance and the coastline in front of San Marco, as well as the steamer in the foreground. Original photograph with high sharpness of detail. An early example of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from bourgeois circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken at great expense in terms of time and with expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site, so that they could bring back a souvenir from their holiday home or collect them as mementos. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer and the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights of their home cities and travelled themselves to photograph their customers' favourite destinations and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting the art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on reproductions or engravings if they were unable to view the original themselves.

Carlo Naya (1816 Tronzano Vercellese - 1882 Venice) Circle: View of the magnificent inner courtyard of the Doge's Palace, Venice, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: Lower middle inscribed on the support: "- Venise - Cour du palais des Doges - ". Date: c. 1880 Description: Original photograph with high detail sharpness. An early example of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from bourgeois circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken at great expense in terms of time and with expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site, so that they could bring back a souvenir from their holiday home or collect them as mementos. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer and the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights in their home cities and travelled themselves to photograph their customers' favourite destinations and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting the art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on copies or engravings if they were unable to view the original themselves.

Albumen print, applied on original cardboard cm 27 x 35,5 (cm 32 x 45,3 cardboard) | 10.6 x 14 in. (12.6 x 17.8 in. cardboard) Photographer's didactic stamp on the verso of the cardboard Contrary to many good craftsmen with an artistic background (many were former painters who had switched to the new art) and often simple origins, Carlo Naya belonged to a wealthy Piedmontese family: after the death of his father, he had travelled with his brother around Italy and the world before moving permanently to Venice. Here he discovered photography as a simple enthusiast, but the excellent results pushed him into the profession first as a supplier to Carlo Ponti's studio, then as an entrepreneur in a very popular shop cleverly located in the centre, under the Procuratie Nuove.
