Born in Venice in 1903, Dalla Zorza attended the Art Institute and exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition "Bevilacqua La Masa" in 1922. In '24 he obtained an international award in Buenos Aires and in the same year he was the first time present with a drawing at the Venetian Biennale. The great international review saw him present up to 1954 for twelve successive times. Carlo Dalla Zorza belongs to the second generation of the "School of Burano" with Vellani Marchi, Seibezzi, Candiani and others. In 1946 he received the prestigious award of the Burano Painting Award which was the first international level prize of the post-war period. In Burano he worked intensely: "he faced the painting of that extraordinary landscape formed by the gardens, the salt marshes and the canals between Burano, Mazzorbo, Torcello, with his innate sensitivity as a draftsman". He was also an illustrator, mosaic artist and etching artist. The painting is presented in a frame, on which there is a stamp from a private collection.
