Swap meet find, lovely but challenged signature, and debating if orig or repro.

[artslinger]

Hi friends, I "scored" this this weekend at a swap meet. from what I can tell, it appears to be oil on canvas, but I have my doubts since the paint seems to be very light. On the back the canvas is aged and the canvas is nailed instead of stables. It did have on one corner a price of $95, but I don't believe that that was the original price. If not the sig, does anybody recognize the location? Italy, France, Holland? I sincerely appreciate everyone's input. Thank you!

Dang! I just did a search on google (Rialto Bridge - Venice, Italy painting) and shocked at the number of paintings of that bridge - unreal!

It's been around for over 400 years. Maybe we should hire renaissance architects to design our bridges.

Thank you very much for your time and help. I sincerely appreciate it. That's a great start! :-)

They produced a lot of paintings to sell to tourists. I think this might be one of the. Btw heading there next week to see it in person.
