Canaletto |
 |
| Born: 1697 - Died: 1768. |
| Canaletto’s real name was Giovanni Antonio Canal; he was born in Venice, the son of a theatrical scene painter. He was famed for his precisely depicted views of Venice.
Canaletto was very much favoured by English collectors. He visited England repeatedly particularly in the period of 1746-56. His nephew, Bellotto, was his most significant assistant, and he himself was to become an artist of standing, and merit in his own right. Canaletto made meticulous preparatory drawings but he always remained concerned with creating a good composition, at times compromising true accuracy.
He found that providing paintings for the visitors to Venice, to be very lucrative. These, still highly skilled works, were produced by him, often in collaboration with his assistants. They usually recorded the lavish Venetian public ceremonies. These works are often what is most associated with Canaletto, but he should perhaps be more known for his earlier works, for his private patrons, where there was no compromise whatsoever.
Canaletto was without doubt one of the finest Italian Rococo painters and etchers.
