Canaletto
(Giovanni Antonio Canal) (1697-1768). Venetian painter, was perhaps the most
famous view-painter of the 18th century.
Canaletto in England
". . . Canaletto's work met with success both in
Venice and in London, where he spent nine fruitful years. The works he
produced during this period, primarily of British subjects, were the focus
of a recent exhibition held at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven,
Connecticut, and at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London under the title
Canaletto in England: A Venetian Artist Abroad, 1746-1755.
In the catalogue that accompanied the exhibition, three essays by Charles
Beddington, Brian Allen, and Francis Russell examine the artist's work, the
art market, and patronage in London during these years.
