Live and act
There is no credible information about Marieschi's painting apprenticeship. Perhaps he learned his first skills in the workshop of his father Antonio Marieschi, a wood engraver and architectural painter.
He probably spent some time in Germany at the end of the 1720s or after 1731, where he worked as a theater painter. He returned to Venice around 1735. Between 1735 and 1741 he became a member of the Venetian painters ' guild Fraglia de' Pittori .
The painter and engraver Gaspare Diziani was one of Marieschi's sponsors . The well-known art collector Freiherr von der Schulenburg , General Field Marshal in the service of the Republic of Venice , acquired two vedute from him in 1738 for the price of 50 and 55 gold zecchini.
In 1741 Marieschi published a set of 21 etchings from Venice under the title Magnificentiores Selectioresque Urbis Venetiarum Prospectus , with the portrait of Marieschi by Angelo Trevisani on the title page.
Marieschi made several of his paintings as pairs. Museums in Prague, Stockholm, Warsaw as well as a private collection in Milan and the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover have such. The painter probably received the inspiration for the courtyard views shown below from the stage designs by Marco Ricci .
