Vittorio Schiavon, painter

Recently the Amsterdam Historical Museum aquired a painting of
Prinsengracht (canal) by Vittorio Schiavon. All we know is that he was
born in Triest and died in 1918.
We have nothing else about his biography.

I hope someone on the worldwide web will come up with some information about the painter. If you have information about this artist and family members, please send it to the site administrator and/or to Annemarie de Wildt conservator/curator of the Amsterdams Historisch Museum Willet-Holthuysen.

The painting is called: Gezicht op de Prinsengracht met de Westerkerk, View of Prinsengracht (canal) with the Westerchurch
The painted was probably made around 1900.

At present the painting is on show in the exhibition Singing in Amsterdam. The Westertoren (the tower of the church in the painting) is the place in Amsterdam which is most sung about.
More information on the exhibition and the museum you can find on:http://www.ahm.nl
