Canaletto
1697–1768, Italy (Venice), England, View painting (veduta)
Canaletto, born Giovanni Antonio Canal, painted Venice so precisely that the houses on the Grand Canal can still be recognised in his pictures today. Travellers on the Grand Tour, above all the English, took his city views – vedute – home as souvenirs. When war kept the visitors away, he moved to London for almost ten years, where he also painted imaginary landscapes known as capricci.
