Joseph Beaume (1796-1885) - Awaiting the gondola (In attesa della gondola)

This work presents a composition identical to that of the painting titled Awaiting the gondola, traditionally attributed to the Belgian painter Édouard-Jean-Conrad Hamman (1819–1888) and auctioned by Sotheby’s on March 14, 2007. The presence of the signature "Beaume" on this canvas suggests that it may be a version, a study, or a reinterpretation of the same subject by Joseph Beaume (1796–1885) — or perhaps a work whose attribution is shared or controversial within the 19th-century art market. These kinds of genre scenes and historical settings in Venice ("Souvenirs d’Italie") enjoyed enormous popularity in the Paris Salons of the mid-19th century, appearing in works by French artists such as Joseph Beaume, as well as in those by Belgian painters resident in France, like Édouard Hamman.
